The Latin American Music Awards (Latin AMAs) is an annual American music awards show produced by TelevisaUnivision. It is the Spanish-language counterpart of the American Music Awards (AMAs).[1] As with AMAs, the Latin AMAs are determined by a poll of the public and music buyers and is produced by SOMOS Productions. The first Latin AMAs debuted on October 8, 2015, on Telemundo and was hosted by Lucero.[2] The awards were not held in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, they resumed a year later.[3]

The broadcast was moved from Telemundo to Univision in 2023.[4]
