An iced tea spoon, also called a soda spoon or a latte spoon, is a thin spoon with a long handle.{{cite book|title=The New Etiquette: Real Manners for Real People in Real Situations|author=Stewart, Marjabelle Young|year=1997|publisher=St. Martins|page=388}} It is used primarily in the United States for stirring sugar or other sweeteners into iced tea, which is traditionally served in a tall glass.

Originally known as a parfait spoon, it is also commonly used for eating ice cream, especially floats and sundaes. As these desserts are usually served in tall glasses, regular teaspoons or dessert spoons become inconvenient choices due to their limited reach.
