Il Grammy Award al miglior album folk (Grammy Award for Best Folk Album) è un premio Grammy assegnato dal 2012.
Il premio viene assegnato ad album popolari autentici sia vocali che strumentali, e ad album contemporanei di artisti che utilizzano elementi tradizionali, suoni e tecniche strumentali folk come base per le loro registrazioni. La musica folk è principalmente, ma non esclusivamente acustica, spesso utilizzando arrangiamenti moderni con la produzione e sensibilità nettamente diversi da un approccio pop.
La categoria è nata dalla fusione delle categorie miglior album folk tradizionale e miglior album folk contemporaneo.
