The '''flags of Frisia''' are the flags that are used to represent (the subdivisions of) [[Frisia]], a cross-border cultural region in [[Northwestern Europe]]. Some designs are in official use on a local or provincial level, while others are used unofficially on a regional, linguistic or international level.

== Interfrisian flag == As of today, two designs for an "Interfrisian flag" have been proposed. The first design was created in 2006 by the [[Groep fan Auwerk]] and is based on the [[Flag of Norway|flags of Norway]] and [[Flag of Iceland|Iceland]].<ref name="GfA"/> In 2009, an alternative design was adopted by the [[Interfrisian Council]], featuring elements of the flags of its three sections: [[North Frisia|North]], [[East Frisia|East]] and [[West Frisia]].<ref name="SHZ"/>
