Grammy Award for årets sang
(Omdirigeret fra Grammy Award for Song of the Year)
Grammy for årets sang (Song of the Year) er en amerikansk pris der uddeles af Recording Academy for årets bedste sang. Prisen gives til komponisten eller komponisterne, ikke sangeren. Prisen har været uddelt siden 1959.
Song of the Year er én af de meste prestigefyldte Grammypriser, og vel én af de vigtigste priser i musik-industrien.
Det sker ofte at en sang er nomineret til både Song of the year og Record of the Year, og i en række tilfælde har en udgivelse vundet begge priser.
