Le Phonographique (often called the Phono) was a gothic nightclub located underneath the Merrion Centre in Leeds.

Founded under the name the WigWam club, the venue's 1979 rebranding led to it becoming a location frequented by members of both the local post-punk and New Romantic scenes.

The WigWam Club was renamed to Le Phonographique in 1979,[2] located underneath the Merrion Centre in Leeds.
