The Billboard Latin Music Award for Top Latin Album of the Year is an honor presented annually at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a ceremony which honors "the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music, as determined by the actual sales, radio airplay, online streaming and social data that informs Billboard's weekly charts."^[1] The award is given to the best performing albums on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, which measures the most popular Spanish-language recordings in the United States based on a multi-metric system that blends sales and album-equivalent units.^[2]^[3] The list was established by the magazine on July 10, 1993 and was originally based on album sales until February 11, 2017.^[3]^[4] From 1994 to 2007, each music genre's field (pop, tropical, Regional Mexican, jazz, rap, and reggaeton) had their own Album of the Year category, separated between male, female, and duo or group categories.

Bad Bunny is the most awarded act in the category with three wins. Bad Bunny is also the most nominated artist, with six. Jenni Rivera, Juan Gabriel, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny are the only acts with two nominated albums in the same year, a milestone achieved twice by Rivera. Bad Bunny is the only act to also have a total of three albums nominated in the same year (2021). Bad Bunny has won Top Latin Album of the Year three times in a row, with Juan Gabriel winning twice in a row. In 2023 Karol G became the first female artist to win this award. As of 2024, the holder is Bad Bunny for the album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.
