The AARP Movies for Grownups Award for Best Grownup Love Story is one of the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards presented annually by AARP the Magazine. The award honors the film with the best romance focused on adult characters, usually focusing on characters or performers over the age of 50.[1] The award for Best Grownup Love Story was first given in 2003, when the awards expanded beyond their initial four categories of Best Movie for Grownups, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress.[2]

Despite its name, the award recognizes performers who portray the love story onscreen, not the film's screenwriter.[3] While AARP the Magazine typically limits its winners and nominees to films by and about people over 50, there have been nine films nominated for Best Grownup Love Story whose romantic leads were below that age: The Painted Veil, J. Edgar, Before Midnight, Carol, Breathe, The Greatest Showman, On the Basis of Sex, Emma., and Wild Mountain Thyme. To date, The Greatest Showman is the only winner of Best Grownup Love Story in which all romantic leads were below the age of 50.[4]
