I fruttoligosaccaridi (FOS), chiamati talvolta anche oligofruttosio o oligofruttani, sono dei fruttani a catena corta (oligosaccaridi) presenti in diverse specie di vegetali, dove svolgono il ruolo di riserva energetica. Costituiscono gran parte della cosiddetta fibra alimentare, che grande importanza riveste nell'alimentazione umana e animale.
