The Petit Beurre, also known as Véritable Petit Beurre (VPB), is a type of shortbread from Nantes, France. The biscuits of the Lefèvre-Utile company are the most commercially successful variety, although its name is not exclusive to LU.^{[citation needed]} It was invented in 1886 by Louis Lefèvre-Utile in the city of Nantes and was inspired by some English products of the time.

The substantive Petit Beurre is a generic term from the past; it has a hyphen and when it is plural Petit-beurre is often misspelled. It is known in Anglosphere countries as the French Petit Beurre, as "Petibör" or "Pötibör" (as called by Ülker) in Türkiye, "Πτι-Μπερ"/ "PteeBer" in Greece, and "פתיבר/Pettiber" in Israel,^{[citation needed]} where a dairy-free version is a popular snack (the removal of dairy products allowing it to comply with Kashrut restrictions).
