A percussion concerto is a type of musical composition for a percussion soloist and a large ensemble, such as a concert band or orchestra. Usually, percussion concertos require the soloist to play a vast array of percussion instruments in a complicated setup (also known as multi-percussion), but it is also common for pieces to highlight just one percussion instrument, as seen in timpani concertos and marimba concertos.

While percussion concertos have been written from as early as the 1930s, they grew in popularity from the 1990s onwards. This coincides with the presence of the percussionists Colin Currie and Evelyn Glennie, who have separately commissioned and premiered numerous entrees to the repertoire. Other percussionists who have performed and commissioned percussion concertos since include players like Martin Grubinger, Christoph Sietzen, and Claire Edwardes.
