The Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album is an honor presented annually by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and promotes a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.[1]

According to the category description guide for the 2012 Latin Grammy Awards, the award is for vocal or instrumental salsa albums containing at least 51 percent of newly recorded material. It is awarded to solo artists, duos or groups.[2]

The accolade for Best Salsa Album was first presented to Cuban singer Celia Cruz at the 1st Latin Grammy Awards ceremony in 2000 for her album Celia Cruz and Friends: A Night of Salsa (1999). American singer Marc Anthony and Panamanian singer Rubén Blades hold the record of most wins in the category with four each, followed by Celia Cruz and Roberto Delgado & Orquesta with three wins each. Gilberto Santa Rosa holds the record for most nominations, with nine.

At the 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2017, Rubén Blades and Roberto Delgado & Orquesta won both this awards and Album of the Year for their collaborative album Salsa Big Band.
