The Oh, God! film series consists of American comedy films, which explore Christianity in a contemporary setting. The plot, which is based on the novel of the same name by Avery Corman, centers around various characters as they encounter God and are asked to share their experiences with society, only for their sanity to be questioned by society. The movies star George Burns in the recurring role of the Supreme Being, and feature a different supporting cast in each installment.

Upon the release of each film, the installments were met with a range of critical reception. The original received critical acknowledgement, including accolades through becoming the recipient of multiple Saturn Awards, a Writers Guild of America Award, and a nomination for an Academy Award. The movie earned $51 million, turning a profit at the box office. Its success overshadowed the performance of its sequel however, as the second film was deemed by various analyses as inferior, while its financial gains were also lower in profit. The third installment, earned praise from a number of critics deeming its status as superior to its predecessor, with praise given to Burns in his dual-role. Christian analysis found that the premise of the series ranged between questioning the intentions of the product, and praising the moral of the story through the lens of contemporary comedy.

The Oh, God! films were later released in a Blu-ray collection through Shout! Factory's Shout Select label.
