The invention provides a flyback switching power supply, which comprises a voltage input unit, a starting unit, a switching power supply control chip, a flyback transformer, an auxiliary power supply winding, a clamping circuit, a transformer primary control circuit, a main voltage output circuit and a standby voltage output circuit, wherein two ends of the voltage input unit are connected to an external power supply and provide power for the starting unit; and the output end of the starting unit is connected to a power end of the switching power supply control chip. The flyback switching power supply further comprises a protection unit, wherein a first end of the protection unit is connected to the output end of the starting unit and one end of the auxiliary power supply winding, a second end of the protection unit is connected to the output end of the switching power supply control chip and the reference ground, and voltage at the output end of the starting unit is reduced below starting voltage of the switching power supply control chip when the external power supply is switched off. According to the invention, a problem of secondary start-up of the flyback switching power supply is effectively solved, and the stability of the system is improved.
