Fatayer is an Arabic specialty consisting of pockets of dough that are filled with a variety of ingredients: spinach, cheeses such as halloumi or feta, meat such as chicken, beef, or lamb, potatoes, or soft Arabic yogurt-based cheeses.

The dish can be baked or fried and is commonly consumed as a snack or a light lunch. It is still unknown who invented fatayer, as the Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, and Palestinians all claim the dish as their own. Today, these turnovers are popular throughout the Arab region, with numerous regional varieties and different fillings.
