Cape Breton Island has several flags that have been used on the island. The most commonly used flag is a Canadian pale of forest green and white with a green saltire and a yellow circle reading "Cape Breton Island" on the top, and "Canada" on the bottom, with a green stylized map of Cape Breton Island in the middle.

The official flag is a white field with four narrow horizontal stripes at the bottom, blue over green over yellow over gray with a narrow black fimbriation. Toward the fly, the green bar rises to silhouette a hill or island. Toward the hoist is a green, stylized eagle in flight. The Eagle flag was officially recognized and adopted by the Nova Scotian government in 1994.
