The flag of Newfoundland and Labrador was introduced in 1980 and was designed by Newfoundland artist Christopher Pratt.

The design was chosen due to its broad symbolism. The blue represents the waters of the sea, lakes and rivers; the white represents snow and ice; the red represents human effort, and the yellow gold symbolizes the confidence the people of Newfoundland and Labrador have in themselves and for the future.

The design was inspired by etchings on Beothuk and Innu decorative pendants worn around the neck that Pratt saw at the Provincial Museum. With the blue, red and white colors applied, the design has an intentional overall resemblance to the Union Jack, as a reminder of historic connections with the British Isles. The two red triangles represent the two areas of the province, Labrador the continental region and Newfoundland the insular region. The gold arrow, according to Pratt, points towards a "brighter future"; the arrow becomes a sword, honoring the sacrifices of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians in military service when the flag is displayed as a vertical banner. The red triangles and the gold arrow form a trident, symbolizing the province's association with the fisheries and other resources of and under the sea.
