26th U-boat Flotilla ("26. Unterseebootsflottille") was a training flotilla ("Ausbildungsflottille ") of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II.

The flotilla was formed at Pillau in April 1941 under the command of Korvettenkapit n Hans-Gerrit von Stockhausen. The flotilla trained newly-commissioned U-boats in the firing of torpedoes (Torpedoschiessausbildung), a course which lasted for three to four weeks. In 1945, as the Russians advanced deeper into Eastern Europe, the flotilla relocated to Warnem nde. The flotilla was disbanded in May 1945 when Germany surrendered.^[1]
