Measurements of charm meson production are important tests for QCD predictions and LHCb is uniquely suited to perform these measurements in the forward region. This paper summarises recent charm meson production measurements performed by LHCb of J/ψ and open charm mesons and the associated production of ϒ and open charm mesons. The J/ψ and open charm meson measurements are performed with data recorded in Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. With proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, these open a new regime in which QCD predictions for charm meson production may be precisely tested. Furthermore, ratios of cross-sections at different centre-of-mass energies benefit of cancellation of both experimental and theoretical uncertainties, providing a new sensitive test of the QCD calculations. Measurements of ϒ and open charm meson associated production are performed using √s = 7 TeV and √s = 8 TeV data and constitute the first observation of this production channel.
