The Golden Melody Awards (simplified Chinese: 金曲奖; traditional Chinese: 金曲獎; pinyin: Jīn Qǔ Jiǎng) is an annual Taiwanese music award, founded in 1990, presented by the Ministry of Culture (Republic of China). It is usually presented in May, June or July each year and presented for music in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and Formosan languages. It is the Taiwanese equivalent to the Grammy Awards. It is also one of the three major annual awards presented in Taiwan along with Golden Bell Awards for television production and Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards for films.

There are two main streams of categories: Popular Music Category (流行音樂作品類) and Traditional Music Category (傳統暨藝術音樂作品類) and are presented at separate ceremonies.

It was first broadcast on Azio TV (東風衛視) from 2002 to 2009. Then from 2010-2012 and 2014, it was broadcast on Taiwan Television (TTV) (台視). In 2013, it was broadcast on SET Metro (三立都會台). In 2015, GMA will be broadcast on Taiwan Television (TTV) (台視) again.
