O Grammy Award para Best Male Pop Vocal Performance foi uma categoria apresentada nos Grammy Awards, uma cerimónia estabelecida em 1958 e originalmente denominada de Gramophone Awards,[1] que presenteia artistas pela qualidade vocal em canções do género musical pop. As várias categorias são apresentadas anualmente pela National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) dos Estados Unidos em "honra da realização artística, proficiência técnica e excelência global na indústria da gravação, sem levar em conta as vendas de canções ou posições nas tabelas musicais."[2]
