# Latin Grammy Award for Best Merengue/Bachata Album

The Latin Grammy Award for Best Merengue/Bachata Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.
The category is awarded for "vocal or instrumental Merengue and/or Bachata albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded material". The award was originally presented as Best Merengue Album and established in 2000 before it was discontinued in 2007. The award was brought back with its current name in 2020 with the winner being a tie between Ahora by Eddy Herrera and Larimar by Daniel Santacruz.
Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra is the most awarded artist in the category with four wins, followed by Milly Quezada and Sergio Vargas with two wins each. In 2023, the category results in a tie (the second in the category) between Fórmula, Vol. 3 by American singer Romeo Santos and A Mi Manera by Dominican singer Sergio Vargas.
