Lifemark is a 2022 American Christian drama film directed by Kevin Peeples. The movie adapts the true story of David Scotton, previously shown in the 2018 short documentary I Lived on Parker Avenue. It follows the journey of a young man whose mother initially considered abortion but instead chose an adoption plan. Later in life, she reconnected with him as a young adult.

Kirk Cameron, Alex Kendrick, and Raphael Ruggero are among the starring actors. Kendrick Brothers co-wrote the screenplay with Peeples and served as executive producer. This film marks the Kendrick brothers' eighth movie, their fifth through Kendrick Brothers Productions, and their first based on a true story. It is also their first release since Flywheel that was not distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Their first five films originated from Sherwood Pictures.

The film premiered on September 9, 2022 through Fathom Events, after major distributors refused to handle it. Reviews were largely favorable, and its opening theatrical week was extended due to strong box-office performance.
