Sesame（/'sesəmi/）是英語中表示芝麻的不可數名詞，指熱帶植物芝麻及其種子與油脂，源自拉丁語並經希臘語演變進入英語。該詞在農業與食品工業中套用廣泛，種子可食用或榨油，常見衍生品包括芝麻籽（sesame seeds）、芝麻油（sesame oil）及芝麻醬（sesame paste）。
其短語“open sesame”源自阿拉伯故事《一千零一夜》，比喻解決問題的關鍵手段或通行憑證。中文諺語“芝麻開花節節高”借其生長特性象徵逐步提升的態勢。芝麻種子富含不飽和脂肪，現代飲食中作為健康食材使用，亦被列為常見過敏原之一。
該詞源流可追溯至拉丁語“sesamum”與希臘語“σήσαμον”，後融入英語辭彙體系。植物學定義為胡麻科植物，學名Sesamum indicum L.，栽培歷史可至古代衣索比亞等地。
