Flanders no Inu (フランダースの犬 Furandāsu no Inu?, lit. "A Dog of Flanders") is a Japanese anime series by Nippon Animation. It is based on the 1872 novel "A Dog of Flanders" by Maria Louise de la Ramée, which is very popular in Japan. Originally premiering in Fuji TV between January 5, 1975 and December 28, 1975, the series is set to be re-run across Japan on Animax from February 2007.

In preparation of the anime, extensive studies have been made of original Flemisch 19th century city and town buildings. The authentic rural buildings of the Open-Air Museum Bokrijk have served as models for the interiors and exteriors depicted in the anime (f.e. the house of 'grandfather' Johan Daas).

A remake named "Flanders no Inu, Boku no Patrasche", was produced in 1992 by Tokyo Movie Shinsha.
