The '''Whopper''' is the signature [[hamburger]] and an associated product line sold by the international fast food restaurant chain [[Burger King]] and its Australian franchise Hungry Jack's. The hamburger is well known in the fast food industry, with Burger King advertising itself as "the Home of the Whopper" and naming its kiosk stores the BK Whopper Bar. In response to the Whopper, Burger King's competitors have developed similar products to compete against it such as [[McDonald's]] [[Quarter Pounder]].

Burger King sells different types of the Whopper that are either seasonal or made to local tastes or customs. To promote the product, the restaurant sometimes releases limited-time variants. It is often central to advertising promotions, product tie-ins, and corporate practical jokes and hoaxes. In the United States, a standard Whopper comes with a quarter-pound beef patty, [[pickle]]s, [[onion]]s, [[ketchup]], [[tomato]]es, [[lettuce]], and [[mayonnaise]]. Cheese can be added as well. <ref>{{cite web |title=Burger King Whopper |url=https://burgerking.com.my/Menu/Item/%208 |accessdate=1 September 2023}}</ref> Previously the Whopper was apart of a meme because of a song about it called [[Whopper Whopper]].
