The coat of arms of the city of Gdańsk (Polish: herb Gdańska, German: Wappen Danzigs), in its current form, dates back to 1410 and Banderia Prutenorum. The coat of arms is very similar to the flag of Gdańsk. It depicts two silver crosses on a red shield above each other, above which hovers a golden crown. The greater arms also has two lions as supporters and Gdańsk motto.

The coat of arms in its current form (two crosses and a crown) was given by Casimir IV Jagiellon on May 25, 1457. Officially adopted in 2010.
