The ARIA Music Award for Best Urban Album, is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres", since 1987. It is handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry." Best Urban Album was first presented as "Best Urban Release" in 2004, for an album or single released by a solo artist or group until 2010, where it changed to its current name.
