EPOC MBM (also known as MBM, Psion Series 5 bitmap, or Symbian Multibitmap) is a raster image file format associated with Psion's EPOC operating system, and its successor, Symbian (most notably used by Nokia phones). An MBM file can contain multiple images.

Most EPOC MBM images are 4- or 16-tone grayscale, though color images and other bit depths are possible. Images may be uncompressed, or RLE-compressed. Several RLE algorithms are defined, but only the "8 bit" RLE algorithm is common.
