{{Short description|Danish pharmacist}}
'''Esaias Fleischer''' (c.1586 – 13 January 1663) was a Danish pharmacist.
He hailed from [[Silesia]], and migrated to [[Denmark]] in the early 17th century. He is known as a pharmacist at least from 1613. In 1619 he was given the right to open a pharmacy in [[Bergen]] in the [[Norway|Province of Norway]], but he probably did not take the offer. He continued his career in [[Copenhagen]], and served as pharmacist for the [[Danish Royal Family|Danish Royal Court]] from 1633 to 1639.<ref name=dbl>{{cite encyclopedia|year=1891|title=Fleischer, Esaias|encyclopedia=[[Dansk biografisk lexikon]]|first=C.

In 1650 his pharmacy privilege was made heritable, and his son Gregorius Fleischer inherited the pharmacy. Another son [[Esaias Fleischer (priest)|Esaias Fleischer]] became a notable clergyman. Esaias Fleischer was married twice, last to Maren Hansdatter, a sister of [[Hans Nansen]]'s wife. He died in January 1663.<ref name=dbl/>
