Liberian cuisine refers to the cuisine of Liberia. It is centered on unique dishes of rice, cassava, plantain, yam, tropical fruits and vegetables (potatoes, greens, cassava leaf, okra, cabbage), as well as fish, meat and more. Given its unique history, diverse cultures and location, Liberian cuisine is also influenced by African American through Americo Liberians and Caribbean food and recipes.

Liberia also has a tradition of baking, including cornbread, sour bread, rice bread, banana bread, and cakes.
