The lip plate, also known as a lip plug or lip disc, is a form of body modification. Increasingly large discs are inserted into a pierced hole in either the upper or lower lip, or both, thereby stretching it. The term labret denotes all kinds of pierced-lip ornaments, including plates and plugs.

Archaeological evidence indicates that disk and plate labrets have been invented multiple times including in Africa Mesoamerica , and coastal Ecuador.
