The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album was an honor presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,[1] to recording artists for quality gospel albums incorporating contemporary R&B music. Honors in several 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]

According to the category description guide for the 52nd Grammy Awards, the award is presented to "a newly recorded album with at least fifty-one percent R&B Gospel vocal tracks. A solo artist with a choir or chorus is eligible when the choir/chorus provides backing on what is considered an album for the solo artist."[3]

The first award in this category was presented gospel artist Kirk Franklin in 2007 for his album Hero. As of 2010, Franklin is the only artist to receive the award more than once. The award has been presented to artists or groups originating from the United States each year to date. J. Moss and the group Tye Tribbett & G.A. share the record for the most nominations without a win, with two each.

The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, recordings in this category will be shifted to the newly formed Best Gospel Album category.
