A Limburger sandwich is a type of sandwich prepared with Limburger cheese. They are traditionally prepared with sliced Limburger, buttered rye bread, sliced onion and mustard. Several variations exist, such as those that add bologna, lettuce, tomato, roasted walnuts, and use white or French bread. Sometimes the rind of the cheese is rinsed or removed to reduce the amount of odor from the cheese.

In the early 20th century, Limburger sandwiches became a popular lunch for working people due to their affordability and nutritious qualities. They were frequently accompanied with a glass of beer. During prohibition in the United States, the production of Limburger decreased, which has been ascribed to the lack of beer available to be consumed with the cheese.
