Cumian (; lit. "thick noodles") are thick Chinese noodles made from wheat flour and water. Two types of Chinese noodles are called cumian. One is Shanghai-style, thick in diameter, used in Shanghai fried noodles.

The other type is Hong Kong-style, flat and wide, sometimes yellow-alkaline. The flat cumian is a popular option in Hong Kong's cart noodles.
