The Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance is an accolade presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally named the Gramophone Awards, to performers of quality traditional R&B vocal performances. The award was first given in 1999; until 2003, only albums were nominated, now just singles or tracks are. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position." As of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, the eligibility criteria for the category was amended to "more accurately represent recordings that embody the classical elements of R&B/soul music, distinguishing them from contemporary interpretations of the genre".

Between 1999 and 2002, this accolade was originally known as Best Traditional R&B Vocal Album. It was renamed in 2003 as Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. Since 2012, the category has been known as Best Traditional R&B Performance.

The award goes to the artist. The producer, engineer and songwriter can apply for a Winners Certificate.

As of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Lalah Hathaway and Beyoncé have the most wins (3) in this category, and Hathaway has the most nominations (6) in this category. At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, two-year-old Hazel Monét became the youngest ever Grammy nominee for her feature on her mother's song, "Hollywood".
