A Shami Kebab (Persian: شامی کباب) is a small patty of minced beef, mutton or chicken and ground chickpeas and spices. Shami kebabs are an extremely popular snack in Middle East and South Asia (in North India and Pakistan). They are often garnished with lemon juice and/or sliced raw onions, and are usually eaten with chutney made from mint or coriander. They are also served along with Sheer Qorma on Muslim Eid Days.

Shami kebabs were immortalized in Grant Naylor's science fiction series Red Dwarf, where character David Lister was nearly killed by an alien masquerading as his favorite supper.

Sham refers to Syria and these kebabs literally means Syrian kebabs in Urdu.
