Metaphysical Interior with Biscuits ({{langx|it|Interno metafisico con biscotti|link=no}}) is a 1916 painting by Italian metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico. It is one of the earliest editions in a series of works that extended late into Chirico's career.{{cite web|url=https://www.theartist.me/artwork/metaphysical-interior-with-biscuits/|title=Metaphysical Interior with Biscuits|last=Ibraham|first=Afzal|publisher=The Artist Magazine|date=April 17, 2020|accessdate=November 4, 2024}}

Like the others in this series, this painting depicts a room cluttered with objects in a surreal arrangement. In this case the main focus is a panel on which are mounted several biscuits (crackers) arranged to resemble an abstract face. Behind this panel is a picture in an irregularly shaped frame. The image in the frame is an architectural scene in the style of de Chirico's earlier work.
