The Lightweight Materials National Lab Consortium, also known as LightMat or Lightweight Materials National Laboratory Consortium, is focused on materials that reduce vehicle weight to increase fuel efficiency, such as metal alloys and carbon fiber composites. It is to create an enduring national lab-based network, enabling industry to utilize the national labs' unique capabilities related to lightweight materials.

It was established as part of the Energy Materials Network, under the Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory manages the LightMAT Consortium.
