El premi Grammy al millor àlbum de country (Grammy Award for Best Country Album) és entregat per The Recording Academy (oficialment, National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) dels Estats Units des de 1965, per a "honorar la consecució artística, competència tècnica i excel·lència general en la indústria discogràfica, sense tenir en consideració les vendes d'àlbums o posició a les llistes".
Segons la descripció de la categoria dels 54ns Premis Grammy es destina a àlbums de country vocal o instrumental que continguin com a mínim el 51% de temps de reproducció de noves gravacions. El premi va ser entregat per primera vegada sota el nom de Best Country & Western Album el 1965 i suspès l'any següent, i el 1995 es va reprendre la categoria amb la denominació actual.
Les Dixie Chicks són les intèrprets amb més premis d'aquesta categoria (quatre), mentre que Roger Miller, Lady Antebellum, Chris Stapleton, i Kacey Musgraves l'han guanyat dues vegades. Trisha Yearwood manté el rècord a més nominacions (vuit) i també el de més nominacions sense obtenir el premi.
