It wasn't Noah, it was Jonah.
Jonah was fleeing from God's request for him to preach to the wicked Assyrian city of Nineveh, since, as he later stated, he knew God to be merciful and he was afraid God would spare them if they repented (not a very kind attitude to have).
The great fish was God's methodology of bringing Jonah back to where he started and bringing him to a point where he was ready to do what God wanted.
The full account is in the Old Testament book of Jonah.
Interestingly enough, despite the many scoffings over the years at the implausibility of this story, a man on a whaling expedition in the 19th century was recorded as having spent significant time in a whale, and lived to tell of it. This is not to say that Jonah's fish was actually a whale, as whales are mammals, but that it is not impossible.

Noah was not swallowed by a fish; it was the prophet Jonah from The Bible who was swallowed by a fish. Jonah was swallowed by a great fish as a form of punishment for fleeing from God's orders. He was eventually spit out onto dry land after repenting and praying to God.
