# Grammy Award para Melhor Álbum Vocal de Jazz

O Grammy Award para Melhor Álbum Vocal de Jazz é uma das categorias dos Grammy Awards, uma cerimónia estabelecida em 1958 e originalmente denominada como "Gramophone Awards", concedido para os artistas de gravação musical de obras de qualidade nos álbuns do gênero musical Jazz. As várias categorias são apresentadas anualmente pela National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences dos Estados Unidos em "honra da realização artística, proficiência técnica e excelência global na indústria da gravação, sem levar em conta as vendas de álbuns ou posições nas tabelas musicais".
De acordo com o guia de descrição de categorias do 54º Grammy Awards, o prêmio é reservado para álbuns "contendo pelo menos 51% do tempo total de material inédito de Jazz" e reconhece exclusivamente elementos pertinentes às performances vocais de jazz como "flexão, fraseamento, arranjos, repertório e improvisações". A categoria foi estabelecida em 1977 e teve como primeira vencedora a cantora Ella Fitzgerald, que venceria novamente na edição de 1980. Até 2001, a categoria foi conhecida como "Melhor Performance Vocal de Jazz" e esteve subdividida em Melhor Performance Vocal Feminina de Jazz e Melhor Performance Vocal Masculina de Jazz entre 1981 e 1991.
