The César Award for Best Male Revelation (French: César de la meilleure révélation masculine) is one of the César Awards, presented annually by the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma to recognize the outstanding breakthrough performance of a young actor who has worked within the French film industry during the year preceding the ceremony. Nominees and winner are selected via a run-off voting by all the members of the Académie, within a group of 16 actors previously shortlisted by the Révélations Committee.
It was presented as the César du meilleur jeune espoir masculin from 1983 to 2004 and the César du meilleur espoir masculin from 2005 to 2023. In English, the award was variously referred to as Most Promising Actor or Best Male Newcomer.
