Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic and consisting of the island of Saint Helena, Ascension Island and the archipelago of Tristan da Cunha (including Gough Island).

There is no flag for the entire territory, however, each of its three administrative divisions has a flag.

Before 2009, the territory was administered as Saint Helena and Dependencies, and the symbols of Saint Helena were used for the territory as a whole.
