A slider is an American term for a small sandwich, typically around 2 in (5.1 cm) across, served in a bun. The term primarily refers to small hamburgers, but can also cover any small sandwich served on a slider roll. The term, when used in reference to a small hamburger, refers to a small hamburger patty served on a small bun. White Castle trademarked the spelling variant "Slyder" and used it between 1985 and 2009.

Sliders can be served as an hors d'oeuvre, appetizer, amuse-bouche, or entrée.
