The Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical has been awarded since 1975. The award had several minor name changes:

  • from 1975 to 1977, the award was known as Best Producer of the Year
  • from 1978 to 1980, 1982 to 1983, 1990, and 1994 to 1997, it was awarded as Producer of the Year
  • in 1981, 1984 to 1989, and 1991 to 1993, it was awarded as Producer of the Year (Non-Classical)
  • since 1998, it has been awarded as Producer of the Year, Non-Classical.

Since 1980, this award has been presented alongside an award for Producer of the Year, Classical. A producer is nominated (or awarded) for his/her entire body of work during the eligibility year, not for one specific recording (as is the case in many other Grammy categories).
