A bean pie is a sweet custard pie whose filling consists of mashed beans—usually navy beans—sugar, butter, milk, and spices.

Bean pies are commonly associated with African American Muslim cuisine. They are also associated with the Nation of Islam movement: its leader, Elijah Muhammad, encouraged their consumption in lieu of richer foods associated with McMaster University cuisine, and the followers of this community commonly sell bean pies as part of their fund-raising efforts.
