Troms (Northern Sami: Romsa; Kven: Tromssa; Finnish: Tromssa) is a county (fylke) in northern Norway. On 1 January 2020 it was merged with the neighboring Finnmark county to create the new Troms og Finnmark county. This merger was reversed on January 1, 2024.
The flag of Troms is a banner of arms, made by Hallvard Trætteberg and adopted by royal resolution on 15 January 1960. The official blazon in Norwegian ("På rød bunn en gull griff") translates to "On a field Gules a griffin [segreant] Or." Trætteberg chose to have the griffin as charge because that animal was the symbol of the mighty clan of Bjarne Erlingsson on Bjarkøy in the 13th century.
