Sheffield er Englands fjerdestørste by med 518.090(2011)[1] indbyggere. Den er beliggende i det engelske county Yorkshire. Bystyret er organiseret som metropolitan borough ("storbykommune"). Byen er den største i området South Yorkshire, der i alt har ca. 1,2 millioner indbyggere, og gennemløbes af floden Don. Af dansk interesse er det, at byen er vokset ud af bl.a. danske vikingebopladser i området.
Sheffield er i den danske offentlighed mest kendt som Danmarks vært under fodbold-EM i 1996 og som ramme for filmen The Full Monty fra 1997. Byen er kendetegnet af sin stålindustri, som bl.a. opfandt rustfrit stål, og kulminedrift var i mange år også en vigtig faktor i byens økonomi. Sværindustrien gik hårde tider i møde fra 1970erne og fremefter, og byen var i årtier hårdt ramt af udflytning af arbejdspladser, lukning af fabrikker og stor arbejdsløshed. Siden begyndelsen af 1990'erne er byen igen begyndt en positiv udvikling og investeringer i byen har igen taget fart.
Byen er hjemsted for to universiteter (University of Sheffield og Sheffield Hallam University), der tilsammen huser 40.000 studerende, samt et rigt sportsliv. Verdens ældste fodboldklub er Sheffield F.C. (stiftet 1857), og fodboldens tidlige udvikling foregik især i Sheffield. I dag er Sheffield Wednesday og Sheffield United de to mest kendte sportsklubber fra Sheffield.
Rockbandet Def Leppard og Arctic Monkeys kommer fra Sheffield.

The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.
The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter.
It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.Flag of Portugal, created by Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro (1857–1929), officially adopted by Portuguese government in June 30th 1911 (in use since about November 1910). Color shades matching the RGB values officially reccomended here. (PMS values should be used for direct ink or textile; CMYK for 4-color offset printing on paper; this is an image for screen display, RGB should be used.)
