El Mirador ("The Lookout") at Labná in the Puuc Hills of Yucatán, Mexico, is a small Late Classic pyramid built around 850 CE, positioned at the southern end of the Labná ceremonial precinct opposite the famous Arch. The pyramid rises 18 metres in tiered platforms of fitted limestone, topped by a single-room shrine with a tall openwork roofcomb pierced by trefoil openings — a hallmark of Puuc temple design. The roofcomb originally bore stucco figures of seated rulers, now eroded but documented in nineteenth-century photographs by Désiré Charnay. The pyramid is connected to the Arch by a 200-metre sacbé that runs across the centre of the site. Labná was abandoned in the early Postclassic around 1000 CE as the regional Puuc collapse emptied the southern Yucatán of population.

El Mirador is a pyramid whose roofcomb is more openings than stone, designed to let the wind move through the city's tallest point.
