A fairy (fey or fae or faerie; collectively wee folk, good folk, people of peace, and other euphemisms) is the name given to alleged benevolent metaphysical spirit or supernatural being.The fairy is based on the fae of medieval Western European (Old French) folklore and romance. Fairies are often identified with related beings of other mythologies (see list of beings referred to as fairies).

Sometimes the term is used to describe any magical creature, including goblins or gnomes: at other times, the term only describes a specific type of more creature.
