The Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM) is an international consortium that promotes the global standardization of clinical laboratory test results and provides information on reference materials, reference measurement procedures, and services that are available from around the world.

The JCTLM was established in 2002 through a declaration of cooperation between the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) in response to the implementation of the European Community Directive 98.79/EC on in vitro medical devices. Since its founding, the role of the JCTLM has expanded to become a global resource for implementing metrological traceability in laboratory medicine.
