contents The Fibonacci cube $Γ_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive 1s. We study a one parameter generalization, p-th order Fibonacci cubes $Γ^{(p)}_n$, which are subgraphs of $Q_n$ induced by strings without p consecutive 1s. We show the link between vertices of $Γ^{(p)}_n$ and compositions of integers with parts in $\{1, 2, \ldots , p\}$. Among other eumerative properties, we study the order, size and cube polynomial of $Γ^{(p)}_n$ as well as their generating functions. Many of the given expressions are similar to those for Fibonacci cubes, where the $p$-nomial coefficients play the role of binomial coefficients. We also show that maximal induced hypercubes in Fibonacci $p$-cubes $Γ^p_n$ , another generalization of Fibonacci cubes, are connected to vertices of $(p + 1)$-th order Fibonacci cubes. We use this link to determine the maximal cube polynomial of Fibonacci $p$-cubes.

The Fibonacci cube $Γ_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive 1s. We study a one parameter generalization, p-th order Fibonacci cubes $Γ^{(p)}_n$, which are subgraphs of $Q_n$ induced by strings without p consecutive 1s.

We also show that maximal induced hypercubes in Fibonacci $p$-cubes $Γ^p_n$ , another generalization of Fibonacci cubes, are connected to vertices of $(p + 1)$-th order Fibonacci cubes.
