The LPC programming language is an object-oriented programming language derived from C and developed originally by Lars Pensjö to facilitate MUD building on LPMuds. It has been used not only for mud game creation, but also has evolved into the Pike programming language used for various internet servers, multimedia applications and system administration tasks. LPC stands for 'Lars Pensjö C'.

LPC syntax places it in the family of C-like programming languages, with C and C++ its strongest influences.
