The General Authority of Media Regulation (Gmedia or GAMR; Arabic: الهيئة العامة لتنظيم الإعلام) is a government organization in Saudi Arabia that censors and represses media organizations and individuals who publish media content contrary to the government's narratives.

It was founded in 2012 originally as the General Commission for Audiovisual Media (GCAM), and is responsible for the development, regulation, and supervision of audio-visual media transmission, publication, and overall media content within the state.
