Der Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir or Chorus Album, auf Deutsch „Grammy-Auszeichnung für das beste Gospelchor-Album“, ist ein Musikpreis, der von 1991 bis 2006 von der amerikanischen Recording Academy im Bereich der Gospelmusik verliehen wurde.
Geschichte und Hintergrund Die seit 1959 verliehenen Grammy Awards werden jährlich in zahlreichen Kategorien von der Recording Academy in den Vereinigten Staaten vergeben, um künstlerische Leistung, technische Kompetenz und hervorragende Gesamtleistung ohne Rücksicht auf die Album-Verkäufe oder Chart-Position zu würdigen.
Eine dieser Kategorien ist der Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir or Chorus Album. Der Preis wurde von 1991 bis 2006 vergeben. Von 1991 bis 1997 hieß die Auszeichnung Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album by a Choir or Chorus.
Der Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir und seine Chorleiterin Carol Cymbala waren mit sechs Siegen die am meisten ausgezeichneten Künstler in dieser Kategorie.
