The Big Four Grammy Awards are four Grammy Awards presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences which go to musical acts and works which are not restricted by genre or another criterion. The Big Four are part of the General Field, which encompasses six categories, including Producer of the Year (created 1975) and Songwriter of the Year (created 2023) which were both added in 2023; these latter two add categories are restricted only by not being of the Classical genre. Unlike the other Grammy Awards, the nomination and voting process within the General Field is open to all Academy voting members.

The most prestigious and important awards at the ceremony, the Big Four comprise:

  • Album of the Year – awarded to the performer, songwriter(s), and the production team of a full album
  • Record of the Year – awarded to the performer and the production team of a single song
  • Song of the Year – awarded to the songwriter(s) of a single song
  • Best New Artist – awarded to an artist without reference to a song or album
