Acetobacter lambici is an acetic acid bacterium isolated from lambic beer, a spontaneously fermented Belgian beer style, where it contributes to the characteristic acidic flavour profile.

This species plays a role in traditional fermented beverage production and is of interest in food microbiology and flavour chemistry.
