Anton Flettner, Flugzeugbau GmbH was a German helicopter manufacturer during World War II, founded by Anton Flettner.
Flettner aircraft included:
- Flettner Fl 184 reconnaissance helicopter, prototype
- Flettner Fl 185 reconnaissance helicopter, prototype
- Flettner Fl 265 reconnaissance helicopter, prototype
- Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri (Hummingbird), reconnaissance helicopter

Flettner's interest in aerodynamics (specifically the Magnus effect, which produces a force from a cylinder rotating in a fluid flow) also led him to invent the Flettner Rotor which he used to power a Flettner ship which crossed the Atlantic.
