The term Snifter might refer to:

• 
  Snifter - a type of stemware, a short-stemmed glass whose main vessel has a wide bottom but that narrows at the top. It is often used to serve brandy. The large surface area helps evaporate the brandy into aroma, while the narrow opening helps to trap the aroma of the drink in the glass. The glass is usually able to hold between 6-8 oz but should pour only 2-3 oz at anytime
• Snifter - a colloquial British term for a small quantity of strong alcoholic spirits, such as whisky. The snifter was the supposed favourite drink of Denis Thatcher as lampooned in the Private Eye series "Dear Bill".
• Snifters - a sweet in New Zealand, manufactured by Pascall (Cadbury NZ); they are a pale green, with a hard candy shell surrounding a thin layer of chocolate and a crunchy ball of peppermint (chocolate & peppermint nougat). The source of the name is unknown.
