Pepper could refer to:

  • Capsicum, the chili peppers, whose fruit (especially the seeds and seed membranes) contains capsaicin which gives a spicy "heat"
  • Piper, a genus containing several plants called "pepper", but unrelated to Capsicum:
    • Black pepper, Piper nigrum, which is processed into black, white, and green peppercorns
    • Long pepper, Piper longum, a much less common spice with a similar flavor
