Lawrence Arabia is the debut album from Lawrence Arabia, the pseudonym for New Zealand musician James Milne. It was released simultaneously with The Dance Reduction Agents, the debut album from Milne's other musical act, The Reduction Agents. Both albums were co-released by Milne's own Honorary Bedouin Records and Lil' Chief Records.

The New Zealand Herald gave the album 3 stars, and called it "a slightly demented, frequently indulgent, but occasionally amusing solo album which mixes bedroom guitar meanderings, wobbly minimalist electropop and frequently hilarious rhyming couplets."
