This is a list of national policies in the world regarding flag desecration. Flag desecration is the intentional act of publicly destroying or damaging a flag, and is not to be confused with the disposal and retiring of flags according to a national flag protocol. Acts of flag desecration are typically done as a form of political protest against the polity which flies the flag in question. Some nations may ban particular methods or uses for flag desecration, while others may ban the practice entirely; where possible, the specifics of national policy have been outlined.
