Johnnycake, also known as journey cake, johnny bread, hoecake, shawnee cake or spider cornbread, is a cornmeal flatbread, a type of batter bread. An early North American staple food, it is prepared on the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to Jamaica. The food originates from the indigenous people of North America. It is still eaten in the Bahamas, Belize, Nicaragua, Bermuda, Canada, Colombia, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Saint Croix, Sint Maarten, Antigua, and the United States.

The modern johnnycake is found in the cuisine of New England and is often claimed as originating in Rhode Island.
