The '''coat of arms of Saint-Baptiste''' ({{wp|French language|Principean}}: ''Armoiries de la Saint-Baptiste'') is the national {{wp|coat of arms}} of the [[Saint-Baptiste|Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste]]. Formally adopted in 1947 after the country 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.
