The Grammy Award for Album Cover is an award presented by the Recording Academy to honor quality album covers in any given year. The award was presented for the first time at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in 2026, as a complement to the Best Recording Package category, and sits in the Package, Notes & Historical field.

The academy announced the new category in June 2025, stating that the award "recognizes excellence in cover art for albums or recordings of any genre of music released for the first time during the eligibility year. The elements judged in this category include the creativity, design, illustration, photography, and/or graphic art of the album cover." The eligibility criteria stipulates that the cover must be "predominantly new", and that reissued recordings with minor artwork changes are not eligible. Submissions for this category are also able to be submitted to the Best Recording Package category.

The award goes to the art director(s) of the album.
