The flag of Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region is one of the regional symbols of the Chilean Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region. This flag, along with other regional symbols, was officially adopted by the Regional Council by Resolution No. 42, adopted on 15 October 1996 and published on 5 February 1997. Because the municipality of Antártica administratively belongs to this region, this flag is sometimes used to represent the territory claimed by Chile in Antarctica. The flag must be hoisted in all private and public buildings on September 21 (in remembrance of the discovery of the Magellan Strait by Ferdinand Magellan), September 29 (in remembrance of the annexation of Magallanes to Chile) and October 21 (Regional Day).
