The William J. Fischer Housing Development, better known as the Fischer Projects, is a public housing development in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States. The development originally consisted of a 13-floor highrise and fourteen 3-floor units; currently only the 3-floor units remain. The development is located around Whitney Avenue in the Algiers district of the city's west bank, which is part of the 15th Ward.

The Fischer Projects were known for years as a dangerous, high-crime area, in common with many other public-housing projects in the United States. In early 2004, the 13-floor highrise portion of the development was demolished as part of a revitalization program.
