The MTV Video Music Award for Artist of the Year is one of the biggest awards given at the annual MTV Video Music Awards. It was first introduced at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, replacing both the MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video and Best Female Video as MTV want to eliminate gender-specific awards.[1]

Ed Sheeran was the first recipient of the award in 2017. Ariana Grande has the most nominations in the category with four, winning the award in 2019. The Jonas Brothers is the only group that has been nominated for this award, receiving a nomination in 2019.
