Grammy Award (Grammy) är en utmärkelse, som sedan 1959 utdelas av Recording Academy (en sammanslutning av personer, som är inblandade i den amerikanska musikindustrin) för framstående prestationer inom musikbranschen. Den betraktas som musikens motsvarighet till filmvärldens Oscar-utmärkelse.
På samma sätt som Oscar sker utdelningen efter omröstning bland röstberättigade medlemmar i Recording Academy och inte på grund av popularitet eller försäljningsresultat. Utmärkelsen har fått sitt namn efter den trofé som vinnarna mottar, en förgylld miniatyr av en trattgrammofon. Grammypriset delas ut i februari varje år, och det är inspelningar och prestationer året innan som belönas. Brytpunkten är dock inte satt vid årsskiftet utan vid månadsskiftet augusti/september (bästa album 2025 har alltså spelats in och släppts under perioden 1 september 2023 – 31 augusti 2024).
Antalet priskategorier är för närvarande 105 inom 30 olika genrer.
