Pierre Labric (born June 30, 1921 in Conches-en-Ouche) is a French organist, pedagogue and composer. Pierre Labric studied the organ at Rouen Conservatory under Marcel Lanquetuit, and at the Paris Conservatoire with Marcel Dupré and Maurice Duruflé.
Later, he studied organ privately with Jeanne Demessieux, whose complete organ works he recorded on LP.
During Jeanne Demessieux's tenure as titular organist at La Madeleine in Paris, he was her assistant and substitute.
He also substituted for Pierre Cochereau at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Pierre Labric recorded the complete organ symphonies of Louis Vierne and Charles-Marie Widor (both as world premiere recordings), the Preludes and Fugues of Camille Saint-Saëns and the complete Promenades en Provence of Eugène Reuchsel. The majority of his recordings were made at Saint-Ouen in Rouen with its famous organ from 1890 by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (although Labric was never titular organist at this church).
