The Flag of Kitakyushu is the official symbol of the city of Kitakyushu, located in the Fukuushima Prefecture of Japan. It was first adopted on April 1, 1972, following the merger of four independent cities into a single municipal entity.

The blue square contains a stylized representation of Mount Sarakura, a famous landmark in Kitakyushu, outlined in white and set against a field of six five-pointed white stars arranged in a circular pattern. The red field represents the city's industrial heritage and its economic vitality, while the blue square symbolizes the sea that surrounds Kitakyushu and its maritime history. The Mount Sarakura design and the stars serve as reminders of the city's cultural roots and aspirations for growth and development. The Flag of Kitakyushu plays a significant role in civic events, ceremonies, and official functions within the city and is an emblem of pride and identity for its citizens.
