MTV Europe Music Award for Best Electronic

The MTV Europe Music Award for Best Electronic was originally entitled Best Dance and was first awarded in 1994 until 2003. It was one of the original two genre categories that were added to the MTV Europe Music Awards that year. After an interruption of eight years, the category was revived in 2012, in which it was renamed to its current title.

The biggest winner on this category is David Guetta, with six awards. The second biggest winner is The Prodigy, with four awards. Guetta is also the artist with the most consecutive wins, winning four times from 2020 to 2023. Calvin Harris leads the number of nominations, with 12. He has been nominated every year since 2012.
