This article lists the winners and nominees for the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance, Male. Prior to 2014 the category was not gender specific, and was just called Outstanding Breakthrough Performance. Derek Luke was the first recipient (male or female) to win the Outstanding Breakthrough Performance category. Luke was also the first performer to win a Black Reel Awards in a Lead or Supporting performance and the Breakthrough performance in the same year.

Currently, Daniel Kaluuya is the only male actor to win the BRA "Triple Crown" acting award with wins in the Lead, Supporting and Breakthrough categories. Kaluuya took home the award for Outstanding Actor & Outstanding Breakthrough Performance, Male for Get Out and won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for Judas and the Black Messiah.
