The Latin Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition 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] I was first presented at the 9th Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, which took place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

The description of the category at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards states that it is "for new vocal and instrumental recordings of original works or compositions that have been composed within the last twenty-five (25) years (a work/composition IS NOT eligible if it was composed before 1995), and that were released for the first time during the Eligibility Period."[2] The award goes to the composer(s).

Argentine composer Claudia Montero holds the record of most wins in this category followed by Argentine composer Carlos Franzetti with two victories.
