The voiceless labiodental plosive or stop is a consonant sound produced like a [p], but with the lower lip contacting the upper teeth, as in [f]. This can be represented in the IPA as {{angbr IPA|p̪}}. A separate symbol not recognized by the IPA that was occasionally seen, especially in Bantu linguistics, is the qp ligature {{angbr|ȹ}}.{{cite book |last1=Peter |first1=Ladefoged |last2=Ian |first2=Maddieson |title=The sounds of the world's languages |publisher=Blackwell Publishers |isbn=9780631198147 |page=17}}

The voiceless labiodental plosive is possibly not phonemic in any language, though see the entry on Shubi. However, it does occur allophonically. The XiNkuna dialect of Tsonga has affricates, {{IPA|[p̪͡f]}} and {{IPA|[b̪͡v]}}. German {{IPA|/p͡f/}} ranges between {{IPA|[p̪͡f]}}, {{IPA|[p͡f]}}, and {{IPA|[p͡ɸ]}}.
