The Star Awards for All-Time Favourite Artiste is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.
The category was introduced in 2004, at the 11th Star Awards ceremony; Chew Chor Meng, Li Nanxing and Zoe Tay received the award after winning the Top 10 Most Popular Male or Female Artistes award from 1994–2003. The award was introduced after the discontinuation of the Special Achievement Award in 2003. It is given in honour of a Mediacorp artiste who have won the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes or Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes for ten times (not necessary to be consecutive). Mediacorp artistes who receive the award will no longer be eligible for the running of the respective Top 10 Most Popular Male or Female Artistes awards from that particular year onwards.
Since its inception, the award has been given to 17 artistes. Qi Yuwu and Rui En are the most recent recipients in this category after winning the Top 10 Most Popular Male or Female Artistes award from 2004–2012, 2014–2015; and 2005–2015 respectively. The award will be given out to Joanne Peh, Quan Yi Fong, and Elvin Ng in 2017, for their Top 10 Most Popular Male or Female Artistes award wins from 2004–2005, 2009–2016; 2005–2011, 2013–2016; and 2006–2016 respectively.
The award was not presented in 2007 and 2013 as there were no recipients. It would also not be presented in 2018 as there are currently no prospective recipients with nine Top 10 Most Popular Male or Female Artistes award wins to allow the award to be presented in that year.
