Second breakfast (or Zweites Frühstück) is a meal eaten after breakfast, but before lunch. It is traditional in Germany, more specifically Bavaria, where special dishes are made only to be eaten during second breakfast. It is typical to eat four to five meals a day in these locations.

The second breakfast is typically a lighter meal or snack eaten around 10:30 in the morning. It consists of coffee, pastries, or some sausages. The typical sausage is a white sausage, Weißwurst, which is considered the specialty of Munich. The sausage is prepared during the early morning to serve during the second breakfast. It is served with brezen, sweet mustard, and wheat beer. The meal is roughly similar in concept to the British elevenses.

In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, second breakfast is one of the seven meals a day that well-fed hobbits will eat.
