Fatteh (Arabic: فتّة‎‎ meaning crushed or crumbs, also romanized as fette, fetté, fatta or fattah) is a class of southern Levantine dishes consisting of pieces of fresh, toasted, or stale flatbread covered with other ingredients. It may also be called shâmiyât (Arabic: شاميات‎‎ "Damascene").

The fetté is known to be a very peculiar and ancient dish of the Egyptian and Southern Levant area, an area that comprises Damascus, Beirut, Jordan and the Palestinian Territories while being mostly unknown and unheard in the Northern Levant.

Fetté dishes include a wide variety of regional and local variations, some of which also have their own distinct names.
