The '''Flag of Saint-Baptiste''' ({{wp|French language|Principean}}: ''Drapeau de la Saint-Baptiste'') is the national flag and ensign of the [[Saint-Baptiste|Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste]]. The current design was adopted in 1947, after the country's independence from [[Blayk]], and consists of a blue (often referred to as dark or navy blue) field defaced by a white cross, with a white anchor in the canton. The symbolism of the colours vary, but most popular interpretations denote blue and white as symbolizing either the sea and the sky, or courage and faith. The white cross historically has been seen as a symbol of the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, the island's namesake.
