Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year – Small Ensemble

The Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year - Small Ensemble is an annual Canadian music award, presented by the Juno Awards to honour classical music recordings by small classical ensembles, such as chamber orchestras or collaborations between individual performers.

It was presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022, as a split of the former category for Classical Album of the Year – Solo or Chamber Ensemble into separate awards for small ensembles and soloists. The category for Classical Album of the Year – Vocal or Choral Performance was also concurrently discontinued.
