The Figueres onion is an onion cultivar that is a non-hybridized bulb. It is somewhat flattened in shape with an outer purple skin and an interior of a paler color. It is highly appreciated for its smooth, sweet, soft texture, and around 200 grams in individual weight. As its name implies, it is typical of the Figueres and Empordà region of Catalonia.

Of the 32,000 tonnes of onion produced in Catalonia each year, 60% consists of this native Figueres variety.
