Penghargaan Grammy untuk Album Terbaik Tahun Ini

Penghargaan Grammy untuk Album Terbaik Tahun Ini (Inggris: Grammy Award for Album of the Year ) adalah salah satu dari empat kategori penghargaan bergengsi di Grammy. Penghargaan ini diadakan sejak 1959 dan meskipun pada awalnya disajikan untuk artis saja, penghargaan ini sekarang disajikan dengan artis, produser, enginer dan/atau mixer dan mastering engineer. Pada Penghargaan Grammy tahun 1962, nama penghargaan diperpanjang menjadi Album Terbaik Tahun Ini (selain klasikal) namun pada Penghargaan Grammy tahun 1965, nama pendeknya digunakan kembali.
