Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat is a 2002 American stand-up comedy concert film starring Martin Lawrence, and directed by David Raynr, also responsible for Whatever It Takes. Lawrence also has producing and writing credits for the film. It is Lawrence's second stand-up comedy film after You So Crazy was released in 1994.

Shot on location at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C., the film features Lawrence addressing several personal and legal issues that he faced in the months prior to the performance. The issues resulted in him taking a lengthy hiatus. In addition, Lawrence tackles subjects such as marriage, his divorce, child birth, old age, and more.

Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat was released in August 2002 and went on to gross nearly $20 million at the box office, almost seven times its production cost of $3 million.
