The Premio Gardel for Album of the Year is an award given to the best Argentine albums recorded during the previous year within the scope of the Premios Gardel, a ceremony established in 1999 and originally known as the Carlos Gardel Awards.

The winning album receives the Gardel de Oro award, a golden version of the trophy.[1] Initially, the Album of the Year category and the Gardel de Oro distinction were awarded separately. Later, since the 2003 edition, the golden version of the trophy is awarded to the winner of the album of the year.[2] Until then, it was awarded by a specialized jury for the musical excellence of the artist, but since that year journalists from all musical genres, producers, musicians and specialists participate by voting in the election of the winner, for which they take as a point of evaluation the album.[3]
