The Flag of Florence, also known as the Giglio of Florence (Italian: Il Giglio Fiorentino), was the flag of the Republic of Florence between 1250 and 1532. The flag persisted as a symbol of the city following the dissolution of the Republic and enjoys continued usage throughout Florence today.

The flag consists of a white field charged with a stylized red iris, commonly referred to as the giglio.
