# Grammy Award de Melhor Álbum de R&B

O Grammy Award para Best R&B Album é uma das categorias dos Grammy Awards, uma cerimónia estabelecida em 1958 e originalmente denominada como Gramophone Awards, concedido para os artistas de gravação de obras de qualidade nos álbuns do gênero musical R&B. 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 R&B" que também pode vir a "incorporar elementos de produção encontrados no rap". Entre os vencedores do prêmio estão produtores, engenheiros musicais, e mixers associados aos respectivos artistas. Em 2003, categoria foi subdividida em duas: Contemporary R&B Album é destinada para trabalhos de R&B mesclados a hip hop, enquanto a categoria original permaneceu reservada aos trabalhos mais tradicionais do gênero. Desde 2012, a categoria voltou a incluir gravações de todo o nincho R&B, inclusive as que antes concorriam na categoria "Contemporary R&B Album", que foi encerrada.
