The state flag of the U.S. state of Minnesota consists of a dark blue field representing the night sky and the state's shape, an eight-pointed star representing the North Star, and a bright blue field representing the state's abundant waters; the star is based on one prominently featured in the Minnesota State Capitol rotunda.^[2]

The current design was adopted in 2024 following a redesign commission. This is the fourth design for the official flag of Minnesota since 1893. This flag change occurred in the same year of the flag change of Utah. Multiple American states are changing their designs to make them more recognizable.^[3]
