Real Sociedad de Fútbol, more commonly referred to as Real Sociedad ("Erreala" or "Reala" in Basque, "La Real" in Spanish), is a professional association football club based in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain, competing in La Liga (2020–21), the top flight of Spanish football. This unofficial Real Sociedad flag (Spanish: bandera no oficial de la Real Sociedad) consists of the team's official logo placed on a blue-and-white striped background derived from the club's traditional visual identity and long-established branding.

The Real Sociedad logo, largely unchanged for nearly a century, reflects the club's historical connection with Spanish royalty, particularly King Alfonso XIII, who granted the club the title "Real" (Royal). The design features a crowned vintage football, symbolizing royal patronage and the club's early heritage, along with the intertwined letters "SS" representing San Sebastián. These elements are set against a blue-and-white flag motif, directly reflecting the club's traditional colors and identity. The crown reinforces the historic "Real" designation shared by several Spanish clubs with royal approval. Overall, the emblem symbolizes Real Sociedad's heritage, its connection to the city of San Sebastián, and its status as a historic football club in Spanish football.
