Labo M (2003) is the third studio album by French singer-songwriter Matthieu Chedid in his persona as M. It is an all-instrumental work which, considering that one of M's trademarks had previously been his inventive wordplay, caused some degree of discontent amongst parts of his fanbase.[2] Remarkably successful for an instrumental work, the album entered the French charts at number 27[3] but proved to be a stopgap with the full studio album Qui de nous deux appearing later the same year.

The album's title meaning "M's Laboratory", is a pun on La Bohème as well as the name of Chedid's recording studio.[4]
