Abstract: We present a new inversion formula for the classical, finite, and asymptotic Laplace transform $\hat f$ of continuous or generalized functions f. The inversion is given as a limit of a sequence of finite linear combinations of exponential functions whose construction requires only the values of $\hat f$ evaluated on a M\"untz set of real numbers. The inversion sequence converges in the strongest possible sense. The limit is uniform if f is continuous, it is in L^1 if f \in L^1, and converges in an appropriate norm or Frechet topology for generalized functions f. As a corollary we obtain a new constructive inversion procedure for the convolution transform K:f->k*f; i.e., for given g and k we construct a sequence of continuous functions f_n such that k*f_n->g.
