The MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) is an awards show event established in 2008 by MTV Africa to celebrate the most popular contemporary music in Africa, that is currently inactive or discontinued, as of 2021. Created and executive produced by Alex Okosi and Jandre Louw for the first 3 editions, it began in 2008 in Abuja, Nigeria, with the second edition held in 2009 in Nairobi, Kenya and a return to Nigeria in 2010 in Lagos.

After these three initial events, the show had a three-year hiatus, returning for the 2014 and 2015 editions in Durban, South Africa. The 2016 show was in Johannesburg. The 2021 event was due to be held in Kampala before it was indefinitely postponed.
