The flag of the Donetsk Region[1] (Ukrainian: Прапор Донецької області, romanized: Prapor Donets'koyi oblasti), often referred to as the flag of Donbas[2][3] (Ukrainian: Прапор Донбасу, romanized: Prapor Donbasu, Russian: Флаг Донбасса, romanized: Flag Donbassa), is the official flag of the Ukrainian region of Donetsk. It was designed by Nina Shcherbak (Ukrainian: Ніна Щербак, Russian: Нина Щербак), a Donetsk artist.[4] The flag was officially adopted on 17 August 1999.

The flag has proportions of 3:2, and is divided into two areas. In the upper part, there is a rising gold sun with 12 sunbeams in the upper fair-blue part of flag (resembling the sky). In the lower black part (resembling the Donets Coal Basin[5]) there are five gold ovals one under another (the reflection of the sun on the surface).
