Silesian Cuisine (Silesian: ślůnsko kuchńo, Polish: kuchnia śląska, Czech: slezská kuchyně, German: Schlesische Küche) is the local culinary tradition of Silesia, a region in Central Europe.

It has been influenced by cuisines of many nations, particularly (alphabetically) Czech, German, Hungarian, and Polish. In turn, it influenced the culinary tradition of those nations.
