The coat of arms of Chelyabinsk (Russian: Герб Челябинска, romanized: Gerb Chelyabinska) is the official municipal coat of arms of Chelyabinsk, Russia. The current design, adopted on 12 September 2000 by the City Duma, features a gold camel loaded with goods on its back. The shield is divided into two fields, with the top being taller than the first. The top field is silver and is designed to resemble a brick wall. The bottom field is green.
The city has seen the usage of other coats of arms in addition to the current. The first official coat of arms was adopted in 1782. The arms then changed during Soviet times and again changed in 1994, before the current design was adopted in 2000.
