The Latin Grammy Award for Best Tango Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally. [1] It was first presented in 2000 at the 1st Annual Latin Grammy Awards.

The description of the category at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards states that it is "for vocal or instrumental albums that contain at least 51% of total play time recorded with new material or material by traditional authors. Fusions with other musical genres will be eligible, provided that the Tango genre is substantially maintained in the judgement of the Ad Hoc committee." [2]

Spanish singer Diego el Cigala is the only artist to receive the award more than once with two wins, in 2011 and 2013. Argentine musicians Rodolfo Mederos and Leopoldo Federico hold the record of most nominations in the category with six each.
