Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

This is a list of music awards and nominations received by Ghanaian musician Kofi Kinaata.

Kofi Kinaata is the only Ghanaian musician who has won the VGMA Songwriter of the Year award four times. In 2021, he won the "Vodafone Green Award", an award-giving to musicians for using their craft to drive environmental awareness and sustainability on the planet.[1]
