This article is about the many flags used in the United Kingdom, its Overseas Territories, and the Crown Dependencies. Flags are important symbols that represent countries, regions, and even groups of people.

In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the College of Arms is the official group that manages flags. They keep a list of all official flags. In Scotland, a similar role is held by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. There's also a private group called the Flag Institute that keeps a list of UK flags, but it's not official.
