In the UK, a flapjack is a tray bake (or bar cookie) made from rolled oats, fat (typically butter), brown sugar and usually Golden syrup or honey. As well as being baked at home, they are widely available in shops, ready-packaged, often with extra ingredients such as chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, and toffee pieces or coatings, either as individual servings or full unsliced trayfuls. Some common companies that produce flapjacks are McVities, The Fabulous Bakin' Boys, and Eat Natural. They are usually an alternative to a biscuit (US: Cookie) or cake, and textures range from soft and moist to dry and crisp.

In North America, flapjack is another term for a pancake, made using baking powder which causes the pancake to rise. It is also a reference to a professional wrestling throw.

A flapjack can also be a kind of hydraulic machine.
