The ARIA Music Award for Best World Music Album, is an award presented within the Artisan Awards at the annual ARIA Music Awards. The ARIA Awards recognise "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres", and have been given by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) since 1987.

The final nominees and winner is chosen by a judging school, which comprises between 40 and 100 members of representatives experienced in this genre.
