Grammy for årets indspilning (Record of the Year) er en amerikansk pris der uddeles af Recording Academy for årets bedste udgivelse, typisk en single. Prisen gives til sangeren el gruppen bag udgivelsen, ikke komponisten. Prisen har været uddelt siden 1959.
Record of the Year er én af de meste prestige-fyldte Grammy-priser, og vel én af de vigtigste priser i musik-industrien. Reglerne for hvem der modtager prisen er blevet ændret to gange i årenes løb:
- 1959-1965: Kun kunstner(e)
- 1966-1998: Kunstner(e) og producer.
- siden 1999: Kunstner, producer og tekniker(e).
Det sker ofte at en sang er nomineret til både Record of the year og Song of the Year, og i en række tilfælde har en udgivelse vundet begge priser.
