The '''flag of Norden''' ({{wp|Danish language|Dalish}}: ''Nordens flag'') is a {{wp|saltire}} of navy and gold on a crimson field.

Prior to the unification of the two kingdoms, various designs incorporating the national symbols of both realms were used to denote the rule of two realms under one monarch.

However, as the realms remained administratively separate, the flags of both Dalland and Vitmärige were retained for civil state and military usage within their respective realms, with the royal standard only being used as official standards of the royal family.

The flag of Norden (Dalish: Nordens flag) is a saltire of navy with a golden border on a crimson field. The flag was adopted upon the foundation of the Nordic Kingdom in 1702, with the design allegedly created by King Kristian IV himself. The design sought to unite the national colours of the Kingdoms of Dalland and Vitmärige into one design to denote the unification of the two kingdoms into one realm. The design superimposes Saint Henrik's saltire, an unofficial symbol of the Kingdom of Vitmärige over the flag of Dalland which utilised a saltire of gold on red.

Prior to the unification of the two kingdoms, various designs incorporating the national symbols of both realms were used to denote the rule of two realms under one monarch, most notably the usage of the Dalish Griffin and Vitmar Stag. Prior to the creation of the current flag, the royal standard of Frederik I, was the most prominent symbol of the united kingdoms which utilised a design which quartered the arms of both kingdoms. The design continued to be used by his successors until it was superseded by the current design in 1713. Nevertheless, as both realms remained administratively separate until 1702, the various flags of both Dalland and Vitmärige were retained for civil, state, and military usage within their respective realms.
