The '''Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album''' is an award presented at the [[Grammy Award]]s, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,<ref name=Grammy>{{cite news|url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammy_awards_info,0,5279018.htmlstory?track=center|title=Grammy Awards at a Glance|work=Los Angeles Times|publisher=[[Tribune Company]]|accessdate=April 24, 2010}}</ref> to recording artists for releasing albums in the [[Tropical music|tropical latin music]]genres. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the [[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".<ref name=Overview>{{cite web|url=http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/|title=Overview|accessdate=November 11, 2010|publisher=[[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]]}}</ref>

According to the 54th Grammy Awards description guide the award is intended "for albums containing at least 51% playing time of new vocal or instrumental tropical Latin recordings". This category includes all forms of traditional [[tropical music]], [[Salsa music|salsa]] and [[Merengue music|merengue]].<ref name=Categorymapper>{{cite web|url=http://www.grammy.org/recording-academy/announcement/category-mapper|title=Category Mapper|accessdate=November 25, 2011|publisher=[[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]]}}</ref>

This award has been handed out since 1984 and has had several name changes:

*From 1984 to 1991, and then again from 1995 to 1999 the award was known as '''Best Tropical Latin Performance'''
*From 1992 to 1994 it was awarded as '''Best Tropical Latin Album'''
*In 2000 it was awarded as '''Best Traditional Tropical Latin Performance'''
*From 2001 to 2010 it was awarded as '''Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album'''. From 2000 to 2003 two separate awards, the [[Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album|Best Salsa Album]] and [[Grammy Award for Best Merengue Album|Best Merengue Album]], existed for salsa and merengue recordings respectively. Then from 2004 to 2006 the award for [[Grammy Award for Best Salsa/Merengue Album|Best Salsa/Merengue Album]] existed.
*In 2011 the name '''Best Tropical Latin Album''' returned.

[[Cachao|Israel López "Cachao"]] has the record for most wins in this category with four accolades (one of which was a posthumous one, in 2012). [[Rubén Blades]], [[Gloria Estefan]], [[Eddie Palmieri]], and [[Tito Puente]] all had three wins. Two-time winners include [[Juan Luis Guerra]] and [[Bebo Valdés]]. Blades holds the record for most nominations with nine. [[Willie Colón]] holds the record for most nominations without a win, with eight.
