The flag of the province of Friesland or Frisian flag (West Frisian: Fryske Flagge; Dutch: Friese vlag), is the official flag of the Netherlands province of Friesland. The flag was officially adopted by the provincial executive of Friesland on 9 July 1957.

It consists of four blue and three white diagonal stripes; in the white stripes are a total of seven red pompeblêden, leaves of the yellow water-lily, that may resemble hearts, but according to the official instructions "should not be heart-shaped".

The Frisian flag is probably the best known and most recognizable Dutch provincial flag. It flies abundantly during (inter)national skating competitions and is also used by one of the largest and oldest dairy producers. Moreover, the design is the basis of the home jerseys of the football clubs SC Heerenveen and the Blauhúster Dakkapel [fy].
