Panko is a variety of breadcrumb used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried foods such as tonkatsu. Panko is made from wheat bread, but it has a crisper, airier texture than most types of breading found in Western cuisine. Outside Japan, it is becoming more popular for use in Asian and non-Asian dishes, and is often available in Asian markets or specialty stores.

In Japanese, panko refers to all types of breadcrumb, not just the flaky variety used for frying.
