Der Juno Award für das Classical Album of the Year – Large Ensemble („klassisches Album des Jahres – großes Ensemble“) ist ein kanadischer Musikpreis, der seit 1985 von der Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) vergeben wird.
Hintergrund Die Auszeichnung wird jährlich vergeben, um die besten klassischen Musikaufnahmen von kanadischen Orchestern zu würdigen. Sie hieß bis 1987 Best Classical Album: Large Ensemble or Soloist(s) With Large Ensemble Accompaniment („Bestes klassisches Album: Großes Ensemble oder Solist(en) mit Begleitung eines großen Ensembles“), von 1989 bis 1999 Best Classical Album (Large Ensemble) („Bestes klassisches Album (Großensemble)“), von 2000 bis 2002 wieder Best Classical Album: Large Ensemble or Soloist(s) With Large Ensemble Accompaniment und heißt seit 2003 Classical Album of the Year: Large Ensemble or Soloist(s) With Large Ensemble Accompaniment („Klassisches Album des Jahres: Großes Ensemble oder Solist(en) mit Begleitung eines großen Ensembles“). Die Einführung der Preiskategorie erfolgte bei den Juno Awards 1985, gemeinsam mit der Preiskategorie Classical Album of the Year – Solo or Chamber Ensemble. Die beiden Auszeichnungen lösten die bisherige Preiskategorie Juno Award/Classical Album of the Year ab.
