The paper gives simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed 4‐manifold to be homotopy equivalent to the mapping torus of a self homotopy equivalence of a PD 3 ‐complex. This is a homotopy analogue of the Stallings and Farrell fibration theorems available in other dimensions. The paper also considers 4‐manifolds which admit a geometry of Euclidean factor type and complex surfaces which fibre over S 1 .
