Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year – Solo

The Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year - Solo is an annual Canadian music award, presented by the Juno Awards to honour classical music recordings by solo vocal or instrumental artists.

It was presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022, as a split of the former category for Classical Album of the Year – Solo or Chamber Ensemble into separate awards for soloists and small ensembles. The category for Classical Album of the Year – Vocal or Choral Performance was also concurrently discontinued.
