A Horse Fly Fleas is a 1947 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short. It was written by Warren Foster and directed by Robert McKimson.[2] The short was released on December 13, 1947.[3]

The short stars A. Flea, the nearly-microscopic protagonist of An Itch in Time from 1943. It is rarely aired today due to stereotypical portrayals of Native Americans.

Originally released in Cinecolor, the cartoon was reissued in three-strip Technicolor during the 1955–56 season.
