The flag of French Polynesia was adopted in 1984. It is composed of two red horizontal bands, which encase a wide white band twice as wide as each red band, defaced with the Emblem of French Polynesia.

Under the organic law on the status of French Polynesia, it is one of the "distinctive signs allowing the personality" of the country (fenua in Tahitian) to be marked "in official public events alongside the national emblem and the signs of the Republic"

Two red horizontal bands encase a wide white band in a 1:2:1 ratio; centred on the white band is the emblem of French Polynesia as a 0.43m diameter disk with a blue and white wave pattern depicting the sea on the lower half and a gold and white ray pattern depicting the sun on the upper half; a Polynesian canoe rides on the wave pattern; the canoe has a crew of five represented by five stars that symbolize the five island groups; red and white are traditional Polynesian colours.
