Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (S.B. 0001) is a 2023 law in the state of Tennessee that bans gender-affirming care for Tennesseans under eighteen years of age. It was signed by Governor Bill Lee on March 2, 2023 and became law on July 1.

The bill passed the Senate on February 13 by a vote of 26-6 and the House 77-16 on February 23, 2023. In June 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Tennessee state law banning puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender teenagers does not violate the constitutional right to equal protection of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
