The flag of Seychelles (French: Drapeau des Seychelles) consists of five blue, yellow, red, white, and green rays that extend from the lower-left corner of the flag to the top and right sides. Bands resembling light beams represent a dynamic new country moving towards the future. The blue color represents the sky and sea surrounding Seychelles. Yellow symbolizes the sun, which gives life. The red color symbolizes their determination to work in unity and love for the people and the future. While the white band represents social justice and harmony, the green band expresses the soil and its natural environment. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted on January 8, 1996.

Its coat of arms depicts life on the island.
