The Grammy Award for Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album was awarded from 1991 to 2011. Originally the award was for southern gospel only, but the criteria were expanded in 1994. The award name has changed several times:
- From 1991 to 1993 the award was known as Best Southern Gospel Album
- From 1994 to 1997 it was awarded as Best Southern Gospel, Country Gospel or Bluegrass Gospel Album
- From 1998 to 2011 it was known as Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album
The award was discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, recordings in this category will be shifted to the newly formed Best Contemporary Christian Music Album category.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
