The MBC Gayo Daejejeon (Korean: MBC 가요대제전) is an annual, end-of-the-year South Korean music show broadcast by the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). The event was first held in 1966 as a singing competition, but MBC stopped giving out awards in 2005.

The event was first held in 1966 as the MBC Ten Singers Match (Hangul: MBC 10대 가수 청백전). It was a competition among ten singers, with the winner being awarded the "King of Ten Singers." It was broadcast live on MBC radio from the Seoul Citizens Hall. The event was broadcast on television starting in 1970.^{[citation needed]}

In 1972, the Seoul Citizens Hall caught on fire at the end of that year's MBC Ten Singers Match. About 1,500 people were still inside the venue as the fire spread. Ultimately, 53 people were killed by the fire, and several of the singers in attendance that night were injured.

In 2005, MBC stopped giving out awards at the event after it was boycotted by numerous artists in 2004. The event was renamed the MBC Gayo Daejejeon in 2005.

Girls' Generation member Yoona has been the host since 2015. In 2024, Yoona announced her graduation from the MBC Gayo Daejejeon MC position after this year's event.

This award was called the Popular Singer Award from 1998 to 2001, and the Top 10 Singer Award from 2002 to 2004.

The 2015 MBC Gayo Daejejeon was held on 31 December, hosted by Girls' Generation's YoonA & Kim Sung-joo
