Tarta de Santiago is a type of almond pie from the Spanish region of Galicia. The filling principally consists of ground almonds, eggs and sugar. The top of the pie is usually decorated with powdered sugar, masked by an imprint of the Saint James cross (cruz de Santiago) which gives the pastry its name.

It was the sweet chosen to represent Spain in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.
