This is a list of flags used in Southern Rhodesia between 1890–1964 and 1979–1980 and Rhodesia between 1964 and 1979. The evolution of Southern Rhodesia from a British South Africa Company concern, to a British colony, then to a member of a federation, and then to a self-declared state is reflected by the different flags used.

In 1890, the Union Jack was raised at Fort Salisbury (Harare). The flag of the British South Africa Company was used from 1892.^[1] Southern Rhodesia achieved responsible government in 1923, and thereby became a British self-governing colony. Following the granting of responsible government, a flag was adopted which followed the standard British colonial practice, being a Blue Ensign, defaced with the shield from the Southern Rhodesian coat of arms. This basic design was used until 1968, although a light Blue Ensign was introduced in April 1964 following the break-up of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. On 11 November 1968, three years after the predominantly white government unilaterally declared independence from Britain, a national flag based on a completely new design was adopted. This was a green-white-green vertical triband, charged centrally with the national coat of arms. It was the first national flag to contain the Zimbabwe Bird, which had been present in the coat of arms since 1924.^[2]
