The coat of arms of Saint-Baptiste (Principean: Armoiries de la Saint-Baptiste) is the national coat of arms of the Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Formally adopted in 1947 after the country's independence from Blayk, the history of Saint-Baptiste's coat of arms stretch as far back as the late 17th century, when the white cross, a symbol of the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, began appearing on buildings and stationary on the island, typically above a blue shield. The designation of a blue shield with a white cross (sans anchor) became official in 1870 as the coat of arms of the Colony of Saint-Baptiste.

During independence negotiations in 1946, a white anchor was added in the canton of the shield, alongside a laurel wreath and a scroll with the motto Nous esperons ("We hope"). This design was officially ratified as the national coat of arms on 1 July 1947, and has been left unchanged since.
