The Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album is an honor presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards, to recording artists for quality vocal pop music albums. Awards in several categories are distributed 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."

The honor was first presented in 1968 at the 10th Grammy Awards as Best Contemporary Album to The Beatles for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The category was then discontinued until 1995 where it emerged with the new name Best Pop Album. In 2001, the category became known as Best Pop Vocal Album. According to the category description guide for the 52nd Grammy Awards, the award is presented to artists that perform "albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded pop vocal tracks."

The award goes to the artist, producer and engineer/mixer, provided they worked on more than 50% of playing time on the album. A producer or engineer/mixer who worked on less than 50% of playing time, as well as the mastering engineer, do not win an award, but can apply for a Winners Certificate.

Adele, Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Swift are the only two-time winners of this award, and Clarkson was the first to win twice. Clarkson, Swift, and Ariana Grande lead all performers with six nominations.

Recipients

Celine Dion's Falling into You, the 1997 winner, also won Album of the Year.
Steely Dan's Two Against Nature, the 2001 winner, also won Album of the Year.
Norah Jones' debut album, Come Away with Me, won this award and Album of the Year in 2003.
Ray Charles' final album, Genius Loves Company, won this award and Album of the Year in 2005.
Kelly Clarkson is tied for the most nominations with six, and is the first artist to win this award twice. Breakaway won in 2006; Stronger won in 2013.
Adele has won this award twice: for 21 in 2012, and for 25 in 2017. Both albums also won Album of the Year.
Two-time winner and six-time nominee Taylor Swift, won for 1989 in 2016 and for Midnights in 2024. Both albums have won Album of the Year.
