The Fan-der-Flit family (Russian: Фан-дер-Флит, Dutch; Flemish: Van der Vliet) is a Russian noble family.
At first, it was a merchant family of Dutch origin. The noble branch, descendant of Timofey Yefremovich Fan-der-Flit, who entered the service in 1790 and was promoted to the rank privy Councillor, on 2 November 1828, was awarded nobility with a diploma, from which a copy is held in the Herold Office.
The shield is divided horizontally into two parts, in the upper part, in the black field, there is a lion holding a silver arrow in its paw, pointing upward, and in the lower part, in the silver field, a ship at sea with outstretched sails sailing to the left.
The shield is topped by a noble helmet and a crown with three ostrich feathers. The mantling on the shield is red and black, enclosed in silver.
