For other uses, see Food fight (disambiguation).

A food fight is a spontaneous form of chaotic collective behavior, in which food is thrown around a room, usually a cafeteria, in the manner of projectiles. Those who participate in food fights in cafeteria settings are usually punished. Food fights are a common element in slapstick comedy, with the pie in the face gag being especially prominent. Food fights are frequently featured in children's television and books, usually as an example of destructive or reckless behaviour.

One famous food fight scene in a movie took place in National Lampoon's Animal House.

Though usually associated with juvenile settings such as schools, there are notable incidents that take place in more refined locations, such as the food fight at a lunch meeting of the Legislative Yuan.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3954847.stm</ref>
