In this paper we study a Landis-type conjecture for fractional Schr\"odinger equations of fractional power $s\in(0,1)$ with potentials. We discuss both the cases of differentiable and non-differentiable potentials. On the one hand, it turns out for \emph{ differentiable} potentials with some a priori bounds, if a solution decays at a rate $e^{ -|x|^{ 1+}}$, then this solution is trivial. On the other hand, for $s\in(1/4,1)$ and merely bounded \emph{ non-differentiable} potentials, if a solution decays at a rate $e^{ -|x|^\alpha}$ with $\alpha>4s/(4s-1)$, then this solution must again be trivial. Remark that when $s\to 1$, $4s/(4s-1)\to 4/3$ which is the optimal exponent for the standard Laplacian. For the case of non-differential potentials and $s\in(1/4,1)$, we also derive a quantitative estimate mimicking the classical result by Bourgain and Kenig.
