Fleta is a book published around 1290, on the Common Law of England. It is written in Latin, and has the subtitle "seu Commentarius juris Anglicani" ("or a Commentary on English law"). It is supposed to have been written in the Fleet prison, hence the name.

Fleta contains the first mention in English law of a punishment for homosexual activity.
