Pithas (piṭhā) (Bhojpuri: 𑂣𑂲𑂘𑂰, romanized: Pēthā) are a variety of food similar to pancakes, dumplings or fritters, originating from India and Bangladesh.

They are typically eaten as a snack with chai, or as treats during special occasions (similar to mithai).

Less common types of pitha are made of palm or ol (a local root vegetable).

Sweet pithas typically contain sugar, jaggery, date juice, or palm syrup, and can be filled with grated coconut, fried or roasted sesame seeds, cashews, pistachios, sweetened vegetables, or fruits.

Pithas are part of the Mahaprasada and are prepared every day by the Mahasuaras in the Rosasala of the Jagannatha Temple, Puri.

While some pitha can be made at any time of the year in Bengal (Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal), there are special pitha strongly associated with harvest festivals such as Nabanna (Bengali: নবান্ন nôbanno, literally "new rice" or "new food") and the Poush parbon or Makar Sankranti, celebrated on January 14 every year.
