Québec Cinéma presents an annual award for Best Supporting Actor (French: Prix Iris de la meilleure interprétation masculin dans un rôle de soutien) to recognize the best in the Cinema of Quebec.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Supporting Actor in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra. Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma. The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.
Rémy Girard received the most nominations in this category, five, but didn't win any. Jean Lapointe and Luc Picard are the only actors to win this award twice. Two non-Canadian actors won the award: Serge Kanyinda for War Witch (Rebelle) and Sergio Castellitto for Mafia Inc., the former becoming the first black actor to win the award. At the 2024 ceremony, Steve Laplante became the first actor to receive two acting nominations in the same category.
