Lubanki, also known as Labanki, is an extinct Indo-Aryan dialect that was formerly spoken by the Labana tribe in Punjab. It was a dialect of the Labanas, incorporating elements of Marwari, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Marathi. The dialect is extinct among Labanas in Punjab, but is still spoken by Rajasthani Labanas.

Among Sikhs, the famous Labanki quote Guru Ladho Re (Found the Guru) was outspoken when Makhan Shah Labana identified the ninth successor of Nanak, Guru Tegh Bahadur.
