The Collectivity of Saint Martin does not have an official flag. The flag of France is used officially.

Local government flag

The flag used by the local government is a white field depicting the coat of arms of the Collectivity of Saint Martin.

Logo flag

Another unofficial flag uses a white field with a logo.

According to the official website and CRW Flags:

"The ribbon forms a "S M" monogram, for Saint-Martin. It symbolizes sophistication, elegance and stylishness. Very flexible, the ribbon adapts itself to any shape and to twisting and tension it can be submitted to. The ribbon cannot be cut easily and is robust. Light, it can fly in a windborne move and gives a wavy effect on water. Therefore, the image as built in the logo suggests traveling waves: the multiplication of skills creates energy, which is traveling, propelling to the sea and beyond, towards future and success. These terms represent saint-Martin and the Collectivity: adaptation to constraint, flexibility, dynamism and strength. The ribbon is a modern symbol of solidarity and hope.

The ribbon represents a stylization of the sea (blue) and of Fort Louis (green), forming a "social concept": the sea and the fort are symbols of Saint-Martin recognized by all and to be easily adopted by all citizens.

The two ribbons (blue and green) form a "federating concept": they unite in spite of their different color and surround the word "Saint- Martin". Therefore, the logo gathers the strengths of the two ribbons and unite them to Saint-Martin while maintaining a wide opening."

Fictional flag

A fictional flag can not be seen anywhere on the island, and it was designed for a Hungarian book called A Világ Nemzetei - Zaszlók, címerek, térképek, adatok by László Balogh in 1994.

The flag is a blue background with a white Martini glass with some red liquid inside of it and a yellow lemon slice.
