The Aramean flag or Syriac-Aramean flag is the flag of the Syriac-Aramean people. A first version, similar to the current one, was developed in 1980 by Bahro Suryoyo ("Syriac light"), a Syriac journal part of the Syrianska Riksförbundet i Sverige (English: Syriac Federation in Sweden). The current version was developed in early 1982.

The World Council of Arameans, an international non-government organization, approved of the flag on July 16, 1983, in New Jersey. The design was based on the Winged sun symbol, replacing the sun with a torch symbolising the Holy Spirit in Christianity.
