Libyens flag
Libyens flag består af tre vandrette striber, henholdsvis rød, sort og grøn, i midten af den sorte stribe er en hvid halvmåne og en hvid stjerne. Det røde, sorte og grønne flag blev indført af Kongeriget Libyen, som opnåede uafhængighed fra Italien i 1951, og flaget var i brug indtil Muammar Gaddafis revolution i 1969, hvor Kong Idris 1. blev afsat.
Under den libyske borgerkrig i 2011 blev dette flag benyttet af oprørersstyrkerne, herunder af det af oprørerne dannede Nationale Overgangsråd (National Transitional Council, NTC). Efter oprørernes sejr i borgerkrigen blev det trefarvede flag indskrevet i artikel 3 i Libyens nye midlertidige forfatning, som blev offentliggjort i august 2011.
Flag benyttet under Gaddafi-styret
Efter Gaddafis statskup i 1969 blev det trefarvede flag udskiftet med et pan-arabisk rødt, hvidt og sort flag. Dette flag blev efterfølgende erstattet af et ensfarvet grønt i 1977, efter opløsningen af Føderationen af Arabiske Republikker, hvor Egypten og Syrien havde været med. Den grønne farve symboliserede både islam og Gaddafistyret, hvis politiske filosofi var baseret på hans "Grønne Bog", og det ensfarvede grønne flag var det eneste moderne eksempel på et ensfarvet statsflag.
Orlogsflag
Under Gaddaffis styre havde Libyen et orlogsflag bestående af en lys blå flagdug med styrets grønne flag indsat i øverste venstre hjørne, og et hvidt anker med ankerkæde placeret i flagets frie ende.

Flag of Libya between 1951-69, and re-introduced in the interim Constitutional Declaration of 3 August 2011.
The flag of the Kingdom of Libya was described in article 7 of the constitution of 7th October 1951 and officially adopted on 24 December 1951. The relevant passage in the constitution reads as follows (English translation based on The Libyan Flag & The National Anthem, a booklet issued by the Ministry of Information and Guidance of the Kingdom of Libya (year unknown), cited after Jos Poels at FOTW, 27 January 1997)
- The national flag shall have the following dimensions: Its length shall be twice its breadth, it shall be divided into three parallel coloured stripes, the uppermost being red, the centre black and the lowest green, the black stripe shall be equal in area to the two other stripes and shall bear in its centre a white crescent, between the two extremities of which there shall be a five-pointed white star.
- The red shall be sign red, and the green permanent green. The Crescent shall be on the hoistward side of the star, and the centre of the circle of which the crescent forms a part shall be in the centre of the flag. The star shall be in the open end of the crescent and one point of the star shall point to the centre of the circle. The maximum width of the 270 crescent shall equal 1/6th of its outside diameter which is 1/4th of the width of the flag. The distance between the tips of the crescent shall equal that between the uppermost and lowermost point of the star measured along a perpendicular forming the hoistward sides of these two points. The perpendicular shall form a tangent to the outside circumference of the crescent at a point equidistant from the top and bottom of the flag.
The booklet cited by way of illustration of the symbolism of the flag adds: "In the words of a well known Arab poet 'Our deeds are the colour of white, our battles of black, our meadows of green and our swords of red.' [...] The crescent is symbolic of the beginning of the lunar month according to the moslem calendar. It brings back to our minds the story of Hijra (migration) of our prophet Mohammed from his home in order to spread Islam and teach the priciples of right and virtue. The Star represents our smiling hope, the beauty of aim and object and the light of our belief in God, in our country, its dignity and honour which illuminate our way and puts an end to darkness."
But according to Barraclough's Flags of The World (1965): "The black stripe and its charges were from the black flag which the king had adopted when he was proclaimed Amir of Cyrenaica in 1947; the red stripe represents Fezzen, and the green Tripolitania."
Article 3 of the Constitutional Declaration (3 August 2011) reads (unofficial translation from the Arabic):
- "The national flag shall have the following shape and dimensions:"
- "Its length shall be double its width, it shall be divided into three parallel coloured stripes, the uppermost being red, the centre black and the lowest green, the black stripe shall be equal in area to the two other stripes together and shall bear in its centre a white crescent, between the two extremities of which shall be a five-pointed white star.

One of the several maritime flags of Ottoman Tripolitania used during Karamanli era (1711-1835). Based on Johnson's new chart of national emblems of 1868. A similar flag, with the crescents moved towards the hoist, is recorded in the 1750s as the naval flag of the "Turkish Emperors" (Türckische Kayser) in Flaggen aller seefahrenden Nationen.[1]
