The flag of Eindhoven, the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands, was adopted at the meeting of the municipal executive on 14 October 1927 and confirmed by the college on 4 October 1994. The municipal flag has two vertical stripes on the hoist side. In addition, five horizontal stripes in red and white can be seen. These horizontal stripes represent the five former municipalities that made up Eindhoven before 1920. The flag colours come from the corresponding municipal coat of arms and also form the colours of the provincial flag of North Brabant. The ratio is 2:3. The flag was designed by architect Louis Kooken.
In the olden days, the municipality used a horizontal bicolour in the colours red and white, making the flag identical to the flag of Indonesia, and the flag of Monaco.
