The Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Song is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and promotes a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists in the United States and internationally.[1]

According to the Latin Grammy category description guide it is designed for new songs that contain 51% of the lyrics in Spanish and it is awarded to the songwriter(s).[2] Instrumental recordings, cover songs, remixes and interpolation/sampling recordings are not elegible for the category. It must be a completely new song.

It was introduced in 2019 at the 20th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, with Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz and American singer Camila Cabello being the inaugural winners for the song "Mi Persona Favorita". Colombian singer Camilo is the only composer to receive the award more than once with two consecutive wins.
