De warachtighe fabulen der dieren is a publication by Flemish author Edouard de Dene with engravings by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder from 1567. It is a mix of an emblem book and an account of Aesop's Fables.

Gheeraerts' plates were later used in Vondel's Vorstelijcke warande der dieren (1617).

De fabelbundel was zowel e lees- of e kykboek met 106 fabels over bêestn. By iedere fabel stound er e koperets van Marcus Gerards en vo de tekst had ‘n zyn moat en ook e Bruggelink Eduard de Dene gekoozn, die in dien tyd êen van de belangrykste rederykers van Vloandern was.
