Cena Grammy za album roka (angl. Grammy Award for Album of the Year) je ocenenie udeľované organizáciou The Recording Academy v USA s cieľom „uctiť si umelecký počin, technickú odbornosť a celkovú kvalitu v hudobnom priemysle, bez ohľadu na výšku predaja albumu a polohu v hudobných rebríčkoch“. Album roka je najprestížnejšou kategóriou Cien Grammy, ktorá je udeľovaná od roku 1959.
