Le Piano is the first extended play by Australian post-disco singer, Donny Benét. It was released in April 2022.

All four tracks are instrumental pieces, composed and recorded entirely solo, with Benét working a purpose-built studio of vintage synths and drum machines. Benét said "I wanted to create a short EP of instrumentals reflective of the music that has helped me navigate touring life, and life at home for the past years. For me, I really enjoy the headspace that instrumental music can put you in."[1]

At the AIR Awards of 2023, the EP won Best Independent Jazz Album or EP.[2][3]

Its title track was shorted for the 2023 APRA Music Awards Song of the Year.[4]
