The Latin Grammy Award for Best Banda 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]

The award goes to solo artists, duos, or groups for releasing vocal or instrumental albums containing at least 51% of new recordings in the banda music genre.[2]

The award was first presented to Banda el Recodo for the album Lo Mejor de Mi Vida at the 1st Latin Grammy Awards ceremony in 2000.[3] They are the most awarded band in this category with eight wins out of eleven nominations and are followed by Los Horóscopos de Durango, the first and so far only non-Mexican performer to win, and Joan Sebastian each with two wins. Banda Machos hold the record for most nominations without a win, with six. Chiquis Rivera became the first solo female singer to win for Playlist.
