A petit four (plural: petits fours) is a very small fancy cake, cookie, or confection that can be sweet or savory. In French it means "small oven."

Petits fours come in a few varieties:
- Glacé ("glazed"), iced or decorated tiny cakes covered in fondant or icing, small éclairs, and tartlets
- Salé ("salted"), savory bite-sized appetizers usually served at cocktail parties or buffets
- Sec ("dry"), dainty biscuits, baked meringues, macarons, and puff pastries
