Der Juno Award für das International Album of the Year („internationales Album des Jahres“) ist ein kanadischer Musikpreis, der von 1975 bis 2024 von der Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) vergeben wurde.

Hintergrund Die Auszeichnung hieß in den Jahren 1975 bis 1980 Best Selling International Album, von 1981 bis 1991 International Album of the Year, im Jahr 1992 Best Selling Album by a Foreign Artist, von 1993 bis 2002 Best Selling Album (Foreign or Domestic) und von 2003 bis 2024 dann wieder International Album of the Year. Im Laufe der Jahre gab es leichte Regeländerungen, wodurch auch kanadische Sängerinnen wie Céline Dion (1995, 1997 und 1999) und Bryan Adams (1993) den Preis gewinnen konnten. Zuletzt basierten die Nominierungen auf den Verkaufszahlen und repräsentierten daher nicht unbedingt die „besten“ internationalen Alben des Jahres. Der endgültige Gewinner wurde jedoch immer vom Vorstand von CARAS bestimmt.

Im September 2024 gab das Juno-Awards-Komitee bekannt, dass mehrere Preiskategorien vorübergehend ausgesetzt werden. Diese Entscheidung löste Kontroversen aus und wurde in einigen Bereichen revidiert, jedoch nicht für die Preiskategorie International Album of the Year.

Die britische Band Coldplay ist mit drei Auszeichnungen der am häufigsten ausgezeichnete ausländische Act. Eminem, Adele und Harry Styles folgen mit jeweils zwei Auszeichnungen.
