Labastide-Murat (French pronunciation: [labastid myʁa]), formerly Labastide-Fortunière (Lengadocian: La Bastida Fortunièra), is a former commune in the Lot department in south-western France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Cœur de Causse. It was renamed after Napoleon Bonaparte's brother in law and famed Marshal of France Joachim Murat, who was born there in 1767.
