ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release

The ARIA Music Award for Best Comedy Release was an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognised "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres", from 1987 until 2020. It was handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry."

John Clarke, Martin/Molloy and the Twelfth Man were tied for the most wins with three each, with Clarke's final win in 2017 being posthumous and Martin/Molloy winning all their nominations, including consecutive wins in 1996 and 1997. Rodney Rude received the most nominations with nine, though he never won. Three other acts won both their nominations; Tom Ballard (as one half of a duo with Alex Dyson and collaborating with Bridie and Wyatt), Hamish & Andy and Guido Hatzis, the only other act to win in consecutive years (2000 and 2001). Tripod were the only act nominated for two releases in the same year, as both About an Hour of Song in an Hour...Again and Live - Fegh Maha were nominated in 2004.
