# Grammy Award para melhor performance vocal masculina de R&B

Prêmio Gramy de Melhor Performance Masculina de Rhythm and blues (do inglês: Grammy Award para Best Female R&B Vocal Performance foi uma das categorias da Grammy Awards, concedido para os artistas masculinos de gravação de obras de qualidade nos álbuns do gênero musical "R&B contemporâneo". 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".
Esta categoria já passou por várias mudanças de nome, em 1968 foi inicialmente Best R&B Solo Vocal Performance, Male, em 1969 mudou para Best R&B Performance, Male, e de 1995 até 2011 ficou conhecida como Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. O primeiro vencedor foi Ray Charles em 1967 pela canção "Crying Time". O vencedor mais recente foi Usher com "There Goes My Baby", em 2011. O cantor e compositor Stevie Wonder é o maior vencedor da categoria, somando 7 vitórias (duas delas consecutivas) e 16 indicações. Por sua vez, Luther Vandross é o segundo em número de vitórias (4) e também de indicações (15).
Em 2012, a categoria passou a designar-se por Best R&B Performance, unindo indicações de artistas masculinos e femininos, em meio às reformas da premiação.
