The Fleming Arms was a public house at Binstead village on the Isle of Wight Estates. It was one of three public houses named the Fleming Arms on the Estate; the others were at Romsey and Swaythling.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Rent Audits for the Isle of Wight Estates was held at the inn.
