The Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Performance was awarded from 1964 to 1967. The award had several minor name changes:
- From 1964 to 1965, the award was known as Best Instrumental Performance - Non-Jazz
- In 1966, it was called the Best Instrumental Performance (Other Than Jazz)
- In 1967, it was just Best Instrumental Performance
Although in the pop category of Grammy Awards, the award did not specify popular music performances. Since 1969, a specific pop award has been presented: Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year..
