The traditional cucumber sandwich is a crustless tea sandwich (or finger sandwich) composed of thin slices of cucumber situated between two thin slices of lightly buttered white bread. The sandwich originated in the United Kingdom.

Cucumber sandwiches are most often served for a light snack or afternoon tea, or in the early evening before the main supper. Cucumber sandwiches are also traditionally served during the tea break at club cricket matches in England.
