Fat Hen or fat-hen is a name for various plants with succulent or juicy leaves, often species that are used as a vegetable:

• Aristolochia rotunda (Smearwort)
• Atriplex prostrata (Spear-leaved Orache)
• Chenopodium album (White Goosefoot)
• Sedum spp. (from German Fetthenne, see also Hen and chicks)

In addition, the plump version of the Federal Eagle in the German Bundestag is sometimes called "fat hen" (German: Fette Henne). A very similar version is found on the German 1 and 2 euro coins.
