Teh Пайпер М-Класс (PA-46; ранее назывался Malibu, Malibu Mirage, Malibu Meridian и Matrix) — семейство американских лёгких самолётов, производимых компанией Piper Aircraft из Веро-Бич, штат Флорида. Самолеты оснащены однодвигательными двигателями и имеют шесть посадочных мест. В двадцатом веке производство этого класса было полностью поршневым (теперь M350; ранее Malibu, Malibu Mirage), но турбовинтовые версии под названием M500 (ранее Malibu Meridian), M600 и M700 (Fury) теперь также доступны.
