Ahiman Rezon (אֲחִימָן רְזוֹן) was a constitution written by Laurence Dermott for the Antient Grand Lodge of England which was formed in 1751. The formation of the Ancient Grand Lodge brought together lodges and Masons who, believing themselves to be part of an older, original Masonic tradition, had chosen not to ally themselves with the previously formed Moderns Grand Lodge of 1717.

The title Ahiman Rezon has been often said to be of the Hebrew language and variously mean \"to help a brother\", \"will of selected brethren\", \"The secrets of prepared brethren\", \"Royal Builders\" and \"Brother Secretary\". The reason why Laurence Dermott used it, and what it meant to him, remains a mystery. The \"Ahiman Rezon\" prepared by Smith in 1781, and used by Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, as well as Daicho\'s edition of 1807, used by the Grand Lodge of Ancient York Masons of South Carolina, are both based on the original text written by Laurence Dermott, which was first published in A.D. 1756 or the year of Masonry A.L. 5756.
