The pecan nut is the edible kernel from the fruit the pecan tree, a large deciduous tree, growing to 20–40 m that is a native of North America. Pecans are now grown commercially in other areas of the world, but America still grows more than 80% of the world's pecans.

The nuts of the Pecan are edible, with a rich, buttery flavour. They can be eaten fresh or used in cooking, particularly in [[sweet desserts]] but also in some savoury dishes. One of the most common desserts with the pecan as a central ingredient is the pecan pie, a traditional southern U.S. recipe. Pecans are also a major ingredient in praline candy, most often associated with New Orleans.
