DesignA horizontal tricolour of green, white, and black; charged with three red five-pointed stars at the centre.

Since gaining full independence from France in 1946, Syria has used a number of different flags, all featuring the pan-Arab colors of green, black, white, and red. Initially a green, white and black triband charged with three red five-pointed stars, known as the independence flag, was used. In Ba'athist Syria, this was replaced by the flag of the United Arab Republic with red, white and black tribands with either two or three green stars or charged with the national coat of arms. Following the fall of the Assad regime on 8 December 2024, the revolution flag, a modified version of the independence flag, began to be used within the country[1][2][3] by the Syrian parliament[4] and the Syrian caretaker government,[5][6] and at Syrian embassies abroad.[7][8][9] On 13 March 2025, an interim constitution made the independence flag the primary flag.[10] However, the final text ultimately retained the revolution flag.[11]
