The Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video is an accolade presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally named the Gramophone Awards,^[1] to performers, directors, and producers of quality videos or musical programs. The several honored categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".^[2] In order to quality for this category, a video or musical program must be at least twenty minutes in length.^[3]

Along with the similar honor Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video, this award was first presented in 1984. Between 1984 and 1985, this accolade was originally known as Best Video Album. It was renamed in 1986, being awarded as Best Music Video, Long Form. Since 1998 it has been known as Best Long Form Music Video. In 1988 and 1989, the award criteria were changed and the video accolades were presented under the categories Best Concept Music Video and Best Performance Music Video. The awards were returned to the original format in 1990. Except in 1988 and 1989, the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video recipients included the artists, directors, and producers associated with the winning videos.

Singers Madonna and Sting hold the record for the most wins as a performer in this category, with two each. To date, David Mallet is the only director to receive more than one Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video. He won his first award in 1992 and a second at the 1995 ceremony. The British pop rock group Eurythmics holds the record for the most nominations as a performer without a win, with three from 1985 to 1991.
