Sumario:LHCb is the dedicated $B$ physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, whose goals are to overconstrain the CKM matrix and search for New Physics in the flavour sector. This contribution describes LHCb's programme for CP violation measurements. LHCb is introduced in the context of the LHC, and the current knowledge of CP violation is discussed. Three key areas of LHCb's physics programme are looked at in more detail: measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$, measurements of the $B^0_s$ mixing phase $\phi_s$, and searches for New Physics in $b \rightarrow s\overline{s}s$ decays. LHCb's potential to measure the CKM angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is also discussed.
