The Latin Grammy Award for Best Arrangement 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 19th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2018 with Colombian pianist and composer Milton Salcedo being the first recipient of the award for "Se Le Ve", performed by himself alongside Amaury Gutiérrez, Carlos Oliva and Michel Puche, with colombian singer Andres Buitrago as vocal coach and director.

The award goes to the arranger(s). An arranger should not be entered more than twice in the Best Arrangement category, whether for instrumental or vocal arrangement (a Capella) included, if the artist is the same.[2]
