The Fliegende Blätter ("Flying Leaves"; also translated as "Flying Pages" or "Loose Sheets")[1] was a German weekly[2] humor and satire magazine appearing between 1845 and 1944 in Munich.

Many of the illustrations were by well-known artists such as Wilhelm Busch, Count Franz Pocci, Hermann Vogel, Carl Spitzweg, Julius Klinger, Edmund Harburger, Adolf Oberländer and others.

It was published by Verlag Braun & Schneider [de], a company belonging to the wood engraver Kaspar Braun and illustrator Friedrich Schneider.

It merged in 1928 with a competitor, the Meggendorfer-Blätter[2] and was published until 1944 as Fliegende Blätter und Meggendorfer-Blätter by the Schreiber-Verlag [de] in Esslingen am Neckar.
