Table E 1027 is an adjustable steel and glass table designed by Irish designer Eileen Gray in 1927. Created for her E-1027 house, the table has since become one of Gray's most famous designs. ^{[1] [2]}

The table's adjustable arm and lightweight make it flexible in function. ^[2] It has been suggested that Gray originally designed the table for her sister, who ate breakfast in bed; by holding a dining tray above the bed, rather than directly on the bed, the spill of crumbs could be avoided. ^{[3] [4]}

Before her death, Eileen Gray sold the design to British furniture manufacturer Aram.
