A Wurst Mart, sometimes spelled Wurstmart or Wurst Markt, is a variation on a fish fry found predominantly in German-American communities. Wurst marts are usually held by churches as fundraising events, where people will pay for a buffet of sausages and other side dishes. Common side dishes include mashed potatoes, gravy and sauerkraut.

Wurst Mart comes from the German word "Wurstmarkt" meaning Sausage Market. Wurst Marts are found mostly in small rural German-American communities in the Midwest, particularly around St. Louis.
