The Billboard Latin Music Award for Digital Song of the Year (formerly Latin Digital Download of the Year) is an honor presented annually at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a ceremony which honors "the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music, as determined by the actual sales, radio airplay, online streaming and social data that informs Billboard's weekly charts."[1] The award is given to the best performing singles on Billboard's Latin Digital Songs chart, which measures the best selling Spanish-language recordings in the United States.[2] The list was established by the magazine on January 23, 2010.[3]

Daddy Yankee is the most awarded act in the category with three wins. The award has not been given out since 2020, its last recipient being Daddy Yankee and Snow for their song Con Calma.
