The flag of Konalani (Konalanese: Ka hae o Konalani; Oharic: Yekonalanī Banidīra) is the national flag of the Kingdom of Konalani, and consists of a red field with a gold kāhili, a symbol of Native Konalanese authority, in the canton, with a gold-fimbriated white diagonal band stretching from the lower hoist-side to the upper fly-side. First adopted in 1864, the Konalanese flag has become a strong national symbol for both Konalani as a state and the indigenous Native Konalanese.

The colours of red and gold have traditionally been used by the aliʻi, the indigenous nobility, to denote royalty and authority. As such, these colours have been used since the early 19th century to symbolize the Konalanese state and its monarchy. The flag has been redesigned four times since Konalani's formal recognition of independence in 1822.
