Description
Proudly fly the national flag of Benin outside your home, business, hotel, or government office!
Our Benin flag is manufactured in the United States from high-quality nylon, a lightweight material that flies easily in gentle breezes. Nylon’s lightness also means that this flag dries quickly after rain, which helps prevent mildew growth. The flag’s bold colors are digitally printed for a fade-resistant design, even if flown under direct sunlight.
Each Benin Republic flag comes with a strong canvas header and brass grommets for easy attachment to one of our outdoor flagpoles. Our table of pole heights and their recommended flag size can help you decide which size option is right for you.

Benin Flag Meaning & History
The flag of Benin was initially adopted in 1959, replacing the French tricolor in the process of gaining independence from France. This design was replaced in 1975 and reinstated in 1990.
The green field represents hope and democracy, the red symbolizes the courage of the people’s ancestors, and the yellow stands for the nation's natural resources and wealth. Green, red, and yellow are also closely associated with Pan-Africanism.
