Let $n \ge 2$ and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{ R}^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. In this article, we establish first-order global regularity estimates in the scale of BMO spaces on $\Omega$ for weak solutions to the second-order elliptic equation $\mathrm{ div}(A \nabla u) = \mathrm{ div} , \boldsymbol{ f}$ in $\Omega$. This is achieved under minimal regularity assumptions on $\Omega$ and the coefficient matrix $A$, utilizing the pointwise multiplier characterization of the BMO space on $\Omega$. As an application, we also obtain global estimates of $\nabla u$ in the Lebesgue space $L^1(\Omega)$ when $\boldsymbol{ f}$ belongs to the Hardy space on $\Omega$.
