The Flag of Melite (Maltese: Il-Bandiera ta Melite), together with the coat of arms and the national anthem is a National Symbol of Melite. None of the Melitian flags are legislated in Parliament or formalised, however the ongoing Constitutional Convention is planning to add National Symbols to the Constitution. Melite has both a national and a civil/ethnic flag.

This was designed by President Matthew T.
