Lady finger is an ambiguous term that can mean:

• Okra, a green vegetable from Africa.
• Savoiardi, a kind of small sponge cake cookie from Italy.
• In North America, "ladyfinger" typically refers to a more modernized, smaller, thinner cookie than the traditional savoiardi, from which its name is taken; the two are often used interchangeably, but are completely different in flavour and texture, with the newer more closely resembling uncoated chocolate fingers.
• The "lady finger" cocktail.
