The Haiti flag was adopted on February 25, 1987. The flag is divided into two rectangles going across horizontally. The top half is blue and the bottom is red. Since 1843 the Haiti flag for official and state use has had the coat of arms of Haiti on a white panel in the center.

The coat of arms on the Haiti flag depicts a trophy of weapons ready to defend freedom, and a royal palm for independence. The palm is topped by the Cap of Liberty. The national motto is on a white scroll reading L'Union Fait La Force (Unity Makes Strength).

At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, it was found that Haiti and Liechtenstein were using the same flag. This led to Liechtenstein changing the flag design by adding a crown. During the Duvalier regime, the country used a flag of vertical black and red panels (May 25, 1964 to February 25, 1986).
