The IBM La Gaude Study and Research Centre (Centre d'études et recherches IBM La Gaude) was a computer research laboratory for IBM in La Gaude, just west of Nice on the Côte d'Azur (French Riviera) on France's southeastern coast.

IBM moved its French research and product-development laboratory from Paris to a spectacular, purpose-built, 35,000 square-metre building, designed by the architect Marcel Breuer, in 23 hectares of rough countryside near the village of La Gaude overlooking Nice and Nice airport.

Staff included IBM employees from other European countries and the USA.

For European markets there were the IBM 1750, 2750 and 3750 Switching Systems (world-wide the first electronic computer-controlled business telephone systems widely called PABXs — Private Automatic Branch Exchanges).

In August 2015, some 530 IBM staff moved[3] from La Gaude to the new IBM Innovation Center Nice in the Méridia [fr] high-tech district by the River Var close to Nice.
