The Flying Creatures of Fra Angelico (Italian: I volatili del Beato Angelico) is a 1987 short story collection by the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi.

The stories focus on creating images, often with surreal elements, and sometimes take form as fragments and sketches.

The English translation by Tim Parks was first published in 1991 in an omnibus volume together with Tabucchi's short story collections Vanishing Point and The Woman of Porto Pim.

[2] The Flying Creatures of Fra Angelico was published separately in 2012.

[3] In 2012, Alan Cheuse of NPR said that The Flying Creatures of Fra Angelico is written in a way that "creates a deep, near-profound and sometimes heart-wrenching nostalgia", calling it "wonderfully thought-provoking and beautiful".
