Coat of arms of Bucharest
Armiger	Government of the city of Bucharest
Adopted	1994
Motto	Romanian: Patria și Dreptul Meu ("The Homeland And My Right")

The coat of arms of Bucharest is the heraldic symbol of the capital city of Romania. The present-day coat of arms was adopted by Domnitor (Ruling Prince) Alexandru Ioan Cuza, and changed under the Communist regime. In 1994, it was renewed again with minor alterations.

The saint, who is the city's patron, is commonly referred to as simply Saint Dimitrie (Demetrius),^[1] thus bearing the same name as the 4th century Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki—today's arms seem to represent the latter, as the person depicted is dressed in a Roman uniform.^[2]
