The Lo Nuestro Award for Mexican Music Female Artist of the Year is an award presented annually by American network Univision.The accolade was established to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music. The nominees and winners were originally selected by a voting poll, conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte. At the present time, the winners are selected by the audience through an online survey. The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef.

The award was first presented to Mexican singer Ana Gabriel in 1992. Mexican-American performer Jenni Rivera holds the record for the most awards with nine, out of ten nominations. Mexican singer Graciela Beltrán is the most nominated performer without a win, with ten unsuccessful nominations.

In 2017, the award was not included in the categories and was combined with the Mexican Music Male Artist of the Year. In 2023 it was split up again. In 2025 the award was renamed to the Mexican Music Female Artist of the Year.
