The Andrew Marr Show is an hour long television programme broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One on Sunday mornings from 9am. It is presented by Andrew Marr, previously Political Editor for the BBC. The format of the programme involves the host interviewing political figures and those involved in the current events of the week. It replaced the long running Breakfast with Frost programme when David Frost decided to retire in 2005. The programme begins with a review of the Sunday papers, with Marr being joined by two different guests during the week. It also features a BBC News and BBC Weather update. The programme shares a studio with The Politics Show and is edited by Barney Jones.

The show was launched in 2005 as Sunday AM, but was renamed The Andrew Marr Show for the new series in September 2007.

Each year the programme is off air for several weeks during the summer. It is replaced by News 24 Sunday, which is hosted by Peter Sissons. The programme has a similar format to The Andrew Marr Show, but is also broadcast on the BBC News channel, and comes from the channel's studio.
