A Lesson of Belarusian (Polish: Lekcja białoruskiego) is a 2006 documentary by Polish director Mirosław Dembiński.

The film has won multiple festival prizes. In 2008, a CD-disk with a film and some other disks became the first informational products that a court in Belarus recognized as extremist.
