Bostongurka (Swedish meaning "Boston cucumber" or "Boston pickle") is a type of pickled cucumber mixed with spices such as paprika and mustard seeds. It is one of the most popular cucumber pickles in Sweden.

Despite its name, Bostongurka has nothing to do with the city of Boston. Bostongurka was invented by the Swedish company Felix based on a recipe from Hungary. It was originally invented as a way to use the leftover end pieces that are left when making pickled cucumber slices. Today, the name Bostongurka is a registered trademark of Procordia Foods.
