The Dushanbe Flagpole (Tajik: Боғи парчами Тоҷикистон, romanized: Boghi parchami Tojikiston) is a free–standing flagpole located in front of the Palace of Nations in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. At 165 metres (541 feet), it was the tallest flagpole in the world from its completion in 2011 until the 2014 erection of the 171 m (561 ft) Jeddah Flagpole. It is now the fifth tallest flagpole in the world. It flies a 30 m × 60 m (98 ft × 197 ft) flag of Tajikistan weighing 700 kilograms (1,540 pounds).
