Flensburg Fjord (German: Flensburger Förde; Danish: Flensborg Fjord), occasionally known as Flensburg Firth, is a 50 km long inlet of the Baltic Sea. The fjord or firth forms part of the border between Germany to the south and Denmark to the north.

On the Danish side lies the island of Als with the town of Sønderborg. Towards the west, continuing on the Danish side are Broager, Egemsund, Gråsten, Rinkenæs, Sønderhav, and Kollund.

At the inner German side is the town of Flensburg. At the eastern shore is the town of Glücksburg.
