The iHeartRadio Music Award for Artist of the Year is one of the awards handed out at the yearly iHeartRadio Music Awards. It was first awarded in 2014 and presented to Rihanna. Between 2016 and 2022, it was replaced by the gender-specific categories Male Artist of the Year and Female Artist of the Year. However, in 2023, those categories were retired and the overall award was reinstated again. Taylor Swift is the most awarded artist in this category, with a total of two wins and the most nominated artist, with a total of three nominations.
