Airflow-dependent deployable fences for aircraft wings are described. An example apparatus includes a fence coupled to a wing of an aircraft. The fence is movable relative to the wing between a stowed position in which a panel of the fence extends along a skin of the wing, and a deployed position in which the panel extends at an upward angle away from the skin. The panel is configured to impede a spanwise airflow along the wing when the fence is in the deployed position. The fence is configured to move from the deployed position to the stowed position in response to an aerodynamic force exerted on the panel.
