thumb|right|Dutch fluyt, by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) A fluÿt, or simply fluyt (archaic Dutch: fluijt "flute"; ), is a Dutch type of sailing vessel originally designed by the shipwrights of Hoorn as a dedicated cargo vessel. Originating in the Dutch Republic in the 16th century, the vessel was designed to facilitate transoceanic delivery with the maximum of space and crew efficiency. Unlike rivals, it was not built for conversion in wartime to a warship, so it was simpler and cheaper to build and carried twice the cargo, and could be handled by a smaller crew.

Il fluyt (flœt:), anche fluit o flute (es. filibote), è un tipo di veliero originariamente creato e pensato per il trasporto marittimo. Originario dei Paesi Bassi nel XVI secolo, il vascello era disegnato per facilitare il viaggio transoceanico con la massima capienza. La nave era economica in modo da poter essere costruita in gran numero; solitamente trasportava dai 12 ai 15 cannoni, ma rimaneva comunque un facile bersaglio per i pirati. Tuttavia, il fluyt fu un fattore significativo nel XVII secolo per la crescita dell'impero olandese.
