The flag of French Polynesia was adopted in 1984. It is composed of two red horizontal bands, which encase a wide white band twice as wide as each red band, defaced with the Emblem of French Polynesia.
Under the organic law on the status of French Polynesia, it is one of the "distinctive signs allowing the personality" of the country (fenua in Tahitian) to be marked "in official public events alongside the national emblem and the signs of the Republic".
