Airflow-dependent deployable fences for aircraft wings are described. An example apparatus includes a fence of a wing of an aircraft. The fence includes a base that is coupled to the wing and a panel that is movable relative to the base and the wing between a stowed position in which the panel 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 panel is in the deployed position. The panel is configured to move from the deployed position to the stowed position in response to an aerodynamic force exerted on the panel.
