'''Labatt Brewing Company Limited''' ({{langx|fr|La Brasserie Labatt Limitée}}) is a [[Anheuser-Busch InBev]]-owned [[brewery]] headquartered in [[Toronto]], Ontario, Canada.

In 1995, it was purchased by Belgian brewer [[Interbrew]]. In 2004, Interbrew merged with Brazilian brewer [[AmBev]] to form [[InBev]]. In 2008, InBev merged with American brewer [[Anheuser-Busch]] to form [[Anheuser-Busch InBev]] (abbreviated as AB InBev), making Labatt part of Anheuser-Busch InBev. On October 10, 2016, an over $100 billion merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and [[SABMiller]] closed. Labatt is now part of the new company, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, which is trading as BUD on the [[New York Stock Exchange]] (ABI:BB in Brussels).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/taranurin/2016/10/10/its-final-ab-inbev-closes-on-deal-to-buy-sabmiller/#2e5f846437d6 |title=It's Final: AB InBev Closes On Deal To Buy SABMiller |last=Nurin |first=Tara |date=October 10, 2016 |work=Forbes |access-date=January 28, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203010314/http://www.forbes.com/sites/taranurin/2016/10/10/its-final-ab-inbev-closes-on-deal-to-buy-sabmiller/#2e5f846437d6 |archive-date=February 3, 2017 }}</ref>
