A voiceless labial–velar implosive is a rare type of consonantal sound. The sound exists in the Central dialect of Igbo.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨k͜ɓ̥⟩ or, theoretically, ⟨k͡pʼ↓⟩. Using the voiceless implosive IPA symbols that were withdrawn in the year 1993, it can be transcribed ⟨k͜ƥ⟩.
