The Juno Award for Metal / Hard Music Album of the Year is an annually awarded music prize given by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS). The award is given to the best album by a Canadian band in the heavy metal genre . In the run-up to the award ceremony, five albums are nominated. The prize was awarded for the first time at the Juno Awards 2012. Until 2015 the category was still called Juno Award for Metal / Hard Music Album of the Year . In order to define the criteria for the category more clearly, the category was given its current name in 2016.

The first prize in 2012 went to the band KEN Mode for their album Venerable . The first prize under the current name went to the band Kataklysm for the album Of Ghosts and Gods . The current winner is the band Striker for the album Play to Win . So far there has been a different awardee every year. The band Cancer Bats has been nominated three times without having won a prize.
