Fanny Fischer (born 7 September 1986 in Potsdam) is a German sprint canoer who has been competing since 1996 and on the senior circuit since 2006. She won a gold in the women's K-4 500 m event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and finished fourth in the K-2 500 m event at those same games.

Fischer's mother, Sarina Hülsenbeck-Fischer, won a gold medal in women's swimming at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, earning it in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay (anchor leg). Hülsenbeck competed in the qualifying round of the women's 4 × 100 m medley relay, but not in the final. Her father, Frank, won nine ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships medals in the early 1980s. Her aunt, Birgit Fischer, won twelve medals in canoeing at the Summer Olympics between 1980 and 2004. When not competing, she serves in the Bundeswehr as a soldier. Fischer's brother, Falco, is also a canoer.
