Flames is a 2018 debut magical realism novel by Australian author Robbie Arnott.[1] First published by Text Publishing, the novel follows siblings Levi and Charlotte, who react differently to their mother's death.

Each chapter of the novel is written from a different character's perspective, in an attempt by the author to maintain reader's interest. Inspiration was drawn from multiple sources, mainly that of the Tasmanian landscape and how that landscape affects people.

The novel has won the Margaret Scott Prize in 2019 and has been shortlisted and longlisted for multiple literary awards. It has received generally positive praise since its publication.
