Flemeth is a fictional character in BioWare's Dragon Age franchise. She first appears in the 2009 novel The Stolen Throne as the Witch of the Wilds, a notorious sorceress who resides in the Korcari Wilds region within the Kingdom of Ferelden in the world of Thedas, and provides conditional aid to the novel's main characters when they pass through the Wilds. Her first video game appearance is Dragon Age: Origins, which is set several decades after the events of The Stolen Throne, and again aids the story's protagonists. She is voiced by American actress Kate Mulgrew for all media.

Within the Dragon Age series, Flemeth is a recurring supporting character with few overall appearances in the games, though she plays a pivotal part in the series' overarching narrative. The character has received an overall positive reception; praise went to her cryptic nature and morally ambiguous personality, as well as her voice acting. Flemeth has been cited as a notable example of a complex and interesting older female character in video games.

Flemeth was created and written by David Gaider. He intentionally wrote Flemeth as an aloof and whimsical character who talks in circles, and rarely provides the individual who converses with her a straight answer. Gaider originally intended for the game's origin story to have a historical framing which is narrated as a story by an old woman; the player would initially think it is Flemeth, only for her to be revealed as an elderly Morrigan by the end of the story. Gaider considers

the resolution of the Morrigan and Flemeth plot in Dragon Age: Inquisition to be the most complex video game scene he has ever written, as it had "three overlapping variants and juggled a lot of different needs".

Flemeth has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
