Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers ® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from William Irving, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

The U.S. investment-grade bond market outperformed most domestic stock and lower-quality debt market measures for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2008. During that span, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index - a proxy for high-quality, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities - returned 6.87%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular measure of the U.S. stock market - fell 4.68%, while the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, a gauge of lower-quality but typically higher-yielding debt, declined 0.73%. Amid increased market volatility, investors fled riskier segments of the market, opting for the perceived security of highly rated debt instruments, which were predominantly government bonds. Trying to calm some of the market turmoil, the Federal Reserve Board cut the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% during the period. The federal government also approved a $150 billion stimulus package. Overall, Treasuries benefited the most from this environment, rising 9.72% as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.

During the past 12 months, Inflation-Protected Bond returned 8.46% and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index advanced 11.33%. The fund's absolute return was driven by the strong performance of Treasury inflation-protected bonds. The biggest detractor from the fund's return relative to the index was its exposure to asset-backed securities secured by subprime mortgage loans. These securities - in which I held a small amount directly, but the bulk indirectly through the fund's exposure to Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund - suffered steep price declines amid the housing meltdown and credit market crisis. The fund also lost ground due to indirect and direct holdings in collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities - neither of which is in the benchmark - because they significantly lagged the index. I also employed derivatives known as total return swaps. I sold TIPS to counterparties and invested the proceeds in Ultra-Short Central throughout much the period. From the time I purchased the swaps, the counterparties paid the fund cash flows from the TIPS I sold them in return for fees paid by the fund. That strategy worked against us because the fees paid by the fund exceeded Ultra-Short Central's return. In an attempt to help reduce the fund's overall volatility, I eliminated its exposure to Ultra-Short Central.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments.

The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information.

Weighted Average Maturity as of April 30, 2008

The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Inflation-Protected Bond and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredictable. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Inflation income is distributed as a short-term capital gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts relating to prior periods. Collectively, these adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Annual Report

4. Operating Policies - continued

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which either it or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, a fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $56,358,652 and $260,141,403, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .32% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, .75% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Inflation-Protected Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the transfer agent for Inflation-Protected Bond shares. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

Fundwide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fundwide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), FMR has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .03% of average net assets.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,276 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In September 2006, FIIOC, a transfer agent of the Fund, notified the Fund that the Fund's books and records did not reflect a conversion of certain Class B to Class A shares upon their conversion date. In March 2007, FIIOC converted the relevant Class B shares to Class A shares and recorded the conversion in the books and records of the Fund which did not result in a material impact to the Fund's reported net assets or results of operations in the accompanying financial statements. FIIOC has remediated affected shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

11. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by subprime mortgage loans have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund as of April 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Performance - continued

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund - Class A on June 26, 2002, when the fund started, and the current 4.00% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index performed over the same period. The initial offering of Class A took place on October 2, 2002. See the previous page for additional information regarding the performance of Class A.

In prior years, the performance from year to year was represented by the performance of Class T. Going forward, the fund's performance will be represented by Class A for consistency with other fund materials.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from William Irving, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

The U.S. investment-grade bond market outperformed most domestic stock and lower-quality debt market measures for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. During that span, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index - a proxy for high-quality, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities - returned 6.87%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular measure of the U.S. stock market - fell 4.68%, while the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, a gauge of lower-quality but typically higher-yielding debt, declined 0.73%. Amid increased market volatility, investors fled riskier segments of the market, opting for the perceived security of highly rated debt instruments, which were predominantly government bonds. Trying to calm some of the market turmoil, the Federal Reserve Board cut the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% during the period. The federal government also approved a $150 billion stimulus package. Overall, Treasuries benefited the most from this environment, rising 9.72% as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.

During the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 7.96%, 8.05%, 7.36% and 7.26%, respectively (excluding sales charges), while the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index advanced 11.33%. The fund's absolute return was driven by the strong performance of Treasury inflation-protected bonds. The biggest detractor from the fund's return relative to the index was its exposure to asset-backed securities secured by subprime mortgage loans. These securities - in which I held a small amount directly, but the bulk indirectly through the fund's exposure to Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund - suffered steep price declines amid the housing meltdown and credit market crisis. The fund also lost ground due to indirect and direct holdings in collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities - neither of which is in the benchmark - because they significantly lagged the index. I also employed derivatives known as total return swaps. I sold TIPS to counterparties and invested the proceeds in Ultra-Short Central throughout much the period. From the time I purchased the swaps, the counterparties paid the fund cash flows from the TIPS I sold them in return for fees paid by the fund. That strategy worked against us because the fees paid by the fund exceeded Ultra-Short Central's return. In an attempt to help reduce the fund's overall volatility, I eliminated its exposure to Ultra-Short Central.

During the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 8.34%, while the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index advanced 11.33%. The fund's absolute return was driven by the strong performance of Treasury inflation-protected bonds. The biggest detractor from the fund's return relative to the index was its exposure to asset-backed securities secured by subprime mortgage loans. These securities - in which I held a small amount directly, but the bulk indirectly through the fund's exposure to Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund - suffered steep price declines amid the housing meltdown and credit market crisis. The fund also lost ground due to indirect and direct holdings in collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities - neither of which is in the benchmark - because they significantly lagged the index. I also employed derivatives known as total return swaps. I sold TIPS to counterparties and invested the proceeds in Ultra-Short Central throughout much the period. From the time I purchased the swaps, the counterparties paid the fund cash flows from the TIPS I sold them in return for fees paid by the fund. That strategy worked against us because the fees paid by the fund exceeded Ultra-Short Central's return. In an attempt to help reduce the fund's overall volatility, I eliminated its exposure to Ultra-Short Central.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments.

The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information.

Weighted Average Maturity as of April 30, 2008

The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision.

Duration as of April 30, 2008

 

 

6 months ago

Years

5.0

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Inflation-Protected Bond and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredictable. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Inflation income is distributed as a short-term capital gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts relating to prior periods. Collectively, these adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

4. Operating Policies - continued

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which either it or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, a fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

Annual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $56,358,652 and $260,141,403, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .32% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, .75% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Inflation-Protected Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the transfer agent for Inflation-Protected Bond shares. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

Fundwide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fundwide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), FMR has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .03% of average net assets.

Annual Report

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,276 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $1,094,525.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $3,660. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In September 2006, FIIOC, a transfer agent of the Fund, notified the Fund that the Fund's books and records did not reflect a conversion of certain Class B to Class A shares upon their conversion date. In March 2007, FIIOC converted the relevant Class B shares to Class A shares and recorded the conversion in the books and records of the Fund which did not result in a material impact to the Fund's reported net assets or results of operations in the accompanying financial statements. FIIOC has remediated affected shareholders.

Annual Report

11. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by subprime mortgage loans have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Annual Report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund as of April 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund - Institutional Class on June 26, 2002, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index performed over the same period. The initial offering of Institutional Class took place on October 2, 2002. See above for additional information regarding the performance of Institutional Class.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from William Irving, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

The U.S. investment-grade bond market outperformed most domestic stock and lower-quality debt market measures for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. During that span, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index - a proxy for high-quality, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities - returned 6.87%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular measure of the U.S. stock market - fell 4.68%, while the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, a gauge of lower-quality but typically higher-yielding debt, declined 0.73%. Amid increased market volatility, investors fled riskier segments of the market, opting for the perceived security of highly rated debt instruments, which were predominantly government bonds. Trying to calm some of the market turmoil, the Federal Reserve Board cut the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% during the period. The federal government also approved a $150 billion stimulus package. Overall, Treasuries benefited the most from this environment, rising 9.72% as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index.

During the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 7.96%, 8.05%, 7.36% and 7.26%, respectively (excluding sales charges), while the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index advanced 11.33%. The fund's absolute return was driven by the strong performance of Treasury inflation-protected bonds. The biggest detractor from the fund's return relative to the index was its exposure to asset-backed securities secured by subprime mortgage loans. These securities - in which I held a small amount directly, but the bulk indirectly through the fund's exposure to Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund - suffered steep price declines amid the housing meltdown and credit market crisis. The fund also lost ground due to indirect and direct holdings in collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities - neither of which is in the benchmark - because they significantly lagged the index. I also employed derivatives known as total return swaps. I sold TIPS to counterparties and invested the proceeds in Ultra-Short Central throughout much the period. From the time I purchased the swaps, the counterparties paid the fund cash flows from the TIPS I sold them in return for fees paid by the fund. That strategy worked against us because the fees paid by the fund exceeded Ultra-Short Central's return. In an attempt to help reduce the fund's overall volatility, I eliminated its exposure to Ultra-Short Central.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments.

The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information.

Weighted Average Maturity as of April 30, 2008

The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Inflation-Protected Bond and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredictable. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income - continued

from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Inflation income is distributed as a short-term capital gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts relating to prior periods. Collectively, these adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

4. Operating Policies - continued

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which either it or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, a fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

Annual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $56,358,652 and $260,141,403, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .32% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, .75% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of each respective class of the Fund. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of .10% of Inflation-Protected Bond's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the transfer agent for Inflation-Protected Bond shares. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

Fundwide Operations Fee. Pursuant to the Fundwide Operations and Expense Agreement (FWOE), FMR has agreed to provide for fund level expenses (which do not include transfer agent, Rule 12b-1 fees, compensation of the independent trustees, interest (including commitment fees), taxes or extraordinary expenses, if any) in return for a FWOE fee equal to .35% less the total amount of the management fee. The FWOE paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid to the independent trustees. For the period, the FWOE fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .03% of average net assets.

Annual Report

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,276 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $1,094,525.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In September 2006, FIIOC, a transfer agent of the Fund, notified the Fund that the Fund's books and records did not reflect a conversion of certain Class B to Class A shares upon their conversion date. In March 2007, FIIOC converted the relevant Class B shares to Class A shares and recorded the conversion in the books and records of the Fund which did not result in a material impact to the Fund's reported net assets or results of operations in the accompanying financial statements. FIIOC has remediated affected shareholders.

11. Credit Risk.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by subprime mortgage loans have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund as of April 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.

(e) (2)

Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
