Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical

Template:Short description Template:Infobox award The Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical has been awarded since 1959. The award had several minor name changes:

• In 1959, the award was known as Best Engineered Record – Non-Classical
• In 1960, it was awarded as Best Engineering Contribution – Other Than Classical or Novelty
• From 1961 to 1962, it was awarded as Best Engineering Contribution – Popular Recording
• In 1963, it was awarded as Best Engineering Contribution – Other Than Novelty and Other Than Classical
• In 1964, it was awarded as Best Engineered Recording – Other Than Classical
• From 1965 to 1991, it returned to the title Best Engineered Recording – Non-Classical
• Since 1992, it has been awarded as Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical

This award is presented alongside the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Classical. From 1960 to 1965 a further award was presented for Best Engineered Recording – Special or Novel Effects.

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year. The award is presented to the audio engineer(s) (and, since 2012, also to the mastering engineer[s]) on the winning work, not to the artist or performer, except if the artist is also a credited engineer.
