The Lancashire flag is used to represent the historic county of Lancashire, England. It consists of a red rose on a gold field; the red rose is a traditional symbol of Lancashire, and red and yellow are also the livery colours of the county.
The flag was designed by the Friends of Real Lancashire, a pressure group which promotes the historic county, and registered in 2008 with the Flag Institute, a British charity which promotes vexillology.
The flag has been flown from public buildings within the historic county on Lancashire Day (27 November), including County Hall in Preston and St Helens Town Hall, and from the Ministry for Housing, Communities, and Local Government building in London. It has also been raised on public flagpoles in Littleborough and Milnrow, in the borough of Rochdale.
