The Latin Grammy Award for Best Recording Package is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and promotes awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.[1] It was first awarded at the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2006.

The description of the category at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards states that is "for graphic design, quality and concept recording packages, in any configuration, released for the first time during the Eligibility Year; even if contents were previously released and providing the packaging is new. Only original artwork is eligible. Also eligible are digital recording packages providing proper credits and supporting material are received."[2] The award goes to the art director(s) and not to the performing artist unless they are also credited as an art director for the album.

Argentine graphic designer Alejandro Ros holds the record of most wins in the category with three times for his work in albums by Argentine singers Mercedes Sosa, Vicentico and Juana Molina.
