A crumpet (/ˈkrʌmpɪt/ ⓘ) is a small griddle bread, originating from the United Kingdom, made from an unsweetened batter of water or milk, flour, and yeast. It has since become popular in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.

Historically, crumpets are also regionally known as "pikelets". This is limited, however, as pikelets are more widely known as a thinner, more pancake-like griddle bread; a type of the latter is referred to as a "crumpet" in Scotland.
