A bamboo skewer is a slender wooden stick made from bamboo for threading food. It is lightweight yet sturdy, pale straw in color with a faint grassy aroma when singed, and commonly used to hold pieces together for grilling or broiling or to present small bites; typical retail lengths range from 6 to 12 inches in round or flat profiles with sharp tips.

Bamboo skewering is rooted in East and Southeast Asian street foods such as satay and yakitori and spread globally with portable grilling; modern skewers are mass-produced from split bamboo that is shaped and sanded smooth.
