The coat of arms of West-Flanders is a heraldic symbol used by the Belgian province West-Flanders. Although the arms was already in use by the province in 1815 (under the United Kingdom of the Netherlands), the weapon was then topped with the arms of the Netherlands. After the Belgian revolution, the arms of the Netherlands was removed and it became the official symbol of the province in 1837.
