The Flute Concertino in D major, Op. 107, is a concertino composed in 1902 by French composer Cécile Chaminade. It was originally written for flute and piano, but Chaminade later arranged it for flute and orchestra.

The piece remains a standard and popular part of the flute repertoire.[1] For example, it was voted #85 in a 2012 survey of the best French classical music by the Australian radio station ABC Classic FM. It also remains one of Chaminade's only pieces in contemporary repertoire.[2]
