Finger is a town in McNairy and Chester counties, Tennessee, USA.

J.J. Franklin, a resident of nearby McNairy Station, attended the meeting convened to give the town a name.

[6] Other sources suggest the city was named for an early resident, Andrew Jackson Finger (1815–1888).

Hodges' account is given more credibility because he was an active political and educational figure in 1895, the year of the events, as well as a resident of Finger.

At one point, it supported no less than 8 stores, 2 physicians, a funeral parlor, a hotel, 2 banks, a post office, an elementary and high school, cotton gin and numerous other smaller businesses.

[6] The town is the home of the annual Finger Barbecue, an event held largely since 1895.

The Finger Diner was the original model for the Hard Rock Cafe chain.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2), all land.
