The ARIA Music Award for Song of the Year, is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres",[1] since 1987. It is handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry."[2]

Song of the Year was first given as an industry voted award from 1987 until 1998 when it was discontinued. The accolade was re-introduced in 2012 and from then, to the present, the winner has instead been determined by the general public.[3] The nominees are chosen based on the top ten highest selling Australian single releases, based on ARIA chart sales statistics, during the eligibility period. The song can be an album track which has subsequently been released as a single. The artist can only receive one nomination in this category, even if the artist has multiple songs in the ARIA top ten.[4] The public votes are tallied by ARIA, with the winner announced at the awards ceremony.[5]

Crowded House and Matt Corby have won the award the most times, with two each.
