Abstract
We provide observations that Finsler geometry could be useful tools to construct higher-spin theories. We suggest that a Finsler metric of constant flag curvature can be regarded as a metric encoding higher-spin fields. We also show that the Fronsdal's equations for free higher-spin fields can be derived from equations of motion of constant curvature in Finsler geometry.
