A flag of Antarctica is a flag or flag design that represents the continent of Antarctica. True South is considered to be the official flag of Antarctica and is the only one recognized Antarctic Treaty members.

Design
True South is divided into two stripes of navy and white, charged with a counterchanged lozenge. The dividing line between the lozenge is angled down to form a slight "V" shape. The navy and white stripes represent the polar nights and days respectively. The white triangle represents Antarctica's mountains, icebergs, and pressure ridges and the blue point below it represents a southern compass arrow. The diamond shape together represents "the hope that Antarctica will continue to be a center of peace, discovery, and cooperation for generations to come." The color blue on the flag is different from the color of blue on any other national flag, representing its international neutrality. The flag is named after geographic South, or "true South", which differs from magnetic south.

BANZARE flag
The British Australian (and) New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) flew an all-white flag from their ship Discovery when sailing to Antarctica in 1929. It was an improvised courtesy flag for Antarctica, but was not proposed represent the continent. The flag was flown only twice. It now resides in the Royal Museums Greenwich.

Proposals from vexillologists
In 1978, vexillologist Whitney Smith presented an Antarctica flag at an annual meeting of the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA). It is an orange flag with the letter A for Antarctica, a semi-sphere representing the area below the Antarctic Circle, and hands representing human protection of the environment. He chose international orange orange for its visibility.

Graham Bartram, the chief vexillologist of British organization Flag Institute, designed another proposal in 1996 for a computer program. Using the flag of the United Nations as his model, he chose a plain white map of the continent on a blue background symbolizes neutrality. Ted Kaye, a fellow vexillologist and a member of NAVA, had Bartram's design printed and took them with him on an Antarctic cruise. On this trip, it flew at the Brazilian base Comandante Ferraz and the British museum at Port Lockroy.

In 2015, when the "Flag for Antarctica" was added to the emoji keyboard, Bartram's design was used. The design is still used on most supported platforms.

True south
The True South proposal was designed by Evan Townsend while was living in Antarctica during the winter of 2018. Townsend sewed the first version of the design using scraps of canvas fabric from his research station. The flag quickly gained popularity after its introduction. It has flown at research stations across Antarctica and is used by people in countries around the world.

Adoption
It was adopted by governments, national Antarctic programs, nonprofits, and other organizations as part of an international effort to promote cooperation and conservation for the continent.

Flags of territorial claims
Seven countries have made territorial claims to Antarctica. Australia, New Zealand, and Norway all use their national flag to represent their claim, while Argentina, Chile, France, and the United Kingdom have separate flags for their territorial claims.

Flags of international Antarctic organizations
In 2002, members adopted a logo to represent two of the organizations responsible for the administration of the Antarctic Treaty: the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Members and the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat. It is referred to as the "Emblem of the Antarctic Treaty" and is sometimes rendered in the style of a flag. Antarctic Treaty members used the emblem for at least 30 years prior to its formal adoption, having used it on a 1971 commemorative stamp.

Similarly, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), a body of the International Science Council, sometimes uses its logo in the form of the flag. In addition to changing its proportions like the emblem of the Antarctic Treaty, SCAR's flag uses inverted colors and an additional circle around the logo.
