I Gramophone Classical Music Awards sono uno dei principali riconoscimenti tributati da parte dell'industria musicale classica, spesso definiti come gli Oscar per la musica classica. I vincitori sono selezionati ogni anno dai critici della rivista Gramophone e da vari componenti dell'industria tra cui rivenditori, radiofonici, direttori artistici e musicisti. I premi sono di solito attribuiti ogni anno in settembre e consegnati solennemente a Londra.
