# MTV Video Music Award al miglior video rock

L'MTV Video Music Award al miglior rock (MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock) è un premio assegnato annualmente a partire dal 1989 nell'ambito degli MTV Video Music Awards.

## Storia

Il nome della categoria è cambiato diverse volte:
* 1989: Best Heavy Metal Video
* 1990-1995: Best Metal/Hard Rock Video
* 1996: Best Hard Rock Video
* 1997-2016: Best Rock Video
* dal 2016: Best Rock
Come tutte le altre categorie di genere ai VMA, questa categoria è stata ritirata brevemente nel 2007, quando i VMA furono rinnovati e la maggior parte delle categorie originali furono eliminate. Nel 2008, però, MTV ha ripristinato questo premio, insieme a molti altri che erano stati ritirati nel 2007.
Nel 2017, la parola "Video" è stata rimossa dal nome di tutte le categorie di genere, lasciando a questo premio il nome attuale: Best Rock.
