Banmian () or pan mee () is a well-known Chinese noodle dish, consisting of handmade noodles served in soup. Other types of handmade noodles include youmian (similar dough texture and taste, but thinner round noodles), or mee hoon kueh (flat and thin rectangular pieces).

The name banmian ('board noodle' or 'block noodle') came from the Hakka method of cutting the noodle into straight strands using a wooden block as ruler. In Hak, some might call it man-foon-char-guo () or dao-ma-chet ().
