The coat of arms of Perm (Russian: Герб Перми) is the official municipal coat of arms of Perm, Russia. The current design, adopted on 9 June 1998, features a red field with a silver bear with a yellow Bible resting on its back and a white four-pointed star above. The design is very similar to the coat of arms of Perm Krai.
Several different designs have served as the arms of the city. The first coat of arms was adopted in 1783 and was changed in 1969, during Soviet times. The current coat of arms is a modified version of the 1783 coat of arms.
