Martin Lawrence's First Amendment is a comedy television series that was broadcasted on the Starz channel from 2005 to 2007. The show consisted of two seasons, each with eight episodes, and was created and hosted by comedian Martin Lawrence. The show is based on the concept of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. In the same vein, Martin Lawrence's First Amendment provides comedians with a platform to express their views and opinions unencumbered by censorship or criticism.

Each episode of the show features a segment that showcases various comedians performing their stand-up comedy routines. In these routines, the comedians tackle various topics ranging from politics, race, gender, and pop culture. The comedians do not hold back in expressing their views, and their material is often opinions that are not typically heard in mainstream media. This results in thought-provoking and hilarious jokes that have the audience in stitches.

Another notable feature of the show is its use of hidden cameras.
