The Cross Pommée (also known as the cross pommy or croix pommetée) is a distinctive cross type with rounded terminals.

This Christian cross type was used in medieval European heraldry, appears on Crusader coins and is associated with specific branches of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and early iterations of coats of arms within the Crusader States, including the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
