A crisp sandwich (in British English and Irish English) is a sandwich that includes crisps as the filling, or on its own (crisps only in bread).^[1] In addition to the crisps, any other common sandwich ingredient may be added.

Crisp sandwiches are also called piece and crisps (in Scottish English),^[2] chippy sandwich (in Australian English), chip sandwich, crispwich,^[3] crisp sarnie, crisp butty, or crip sambo. They are popular in the United Kingdom^[4][5][6][7] and Ireland.^[8][9][10] In 2015, crisp sandwich shops opened in Belfast^[11][12] and West Yorkshire,^[13] both of which claim to be the world's first.^{[citation needed]}

In Ireland, crisp sandwiches are also often called Tayto sandwiches in reference to the popular Irish crisp brand and its Northern Irish counterpart. The Irish airline Aer Lingus offered a Tayto sandwich pack as part of their in-flight menu from 2015 to 2016.^[14][15][16] In 2015, a pop-up shop was opened by Tayto in Dublin to raise funds for charity,^[17] and a similar shop was opened for December 2016.^[18] In 2018, the sandwiches were offered through Deliveroo for a limited period.^[19] An Irish pub in New York City sells an adaptation of the crisp sandwich as part of its Irish menu.^[20]

In the United States, the potato chip sandwich has been around since at least the 1950s.^[21]

25 October has been named as 'Crisp Sandwich Day' due to it being Saint Crispins Day.^[22][23][24]

Sandwiches or wraps made using crushed crisps of the Chips Oman brand are part of the popular food culture of the United Arab Emirates.^[25][26]
