The Flag of Ossetia is a tricolor flag, top to bottom white, red, and yellow, used by the Ossetian people in Ossetia, a region spanning both sides of the Caucasus Mountains.

The flag is used by two distinct political entities: The Republic of North Ossetia–Alania (a federal subject of Russia), and the self-declared Republic of South Ossetia – State of Alania.

South Ossetia has been under the control of the Russian Federation since the 2008 Russo-Georgian war and is mostly unrecognized by the international community.
