The mission fig is a particular strain of the fig fruit that was introduced to Northern California by the Franciscan missionaries, who also provided the name "San Francisco." Other plants introduced by the Franciscans also bear the name "mission."

Mission figs do not need pollination, and so have seeds that are smaller than other figs. For this reason they are a popular consumer variety, though they consist of only 25% of California's fig crop.
