The flag of Misiones, a province of Argentina, was introduced by provincial decree no. 326 of 12 February 1992 and consists of three horizontal stripes from the top of the colors red, blue and white. The origins of the flag date back to the flag of the League of the Free Peoples created by José Artigas based on Manuel Belgrano's flag. According to Artigas, the meaning of the flag is as follows:

Red: "for the blood shed to maintain our freedom and independence."
Blue: "for our decision regarding the Republic."
White: "for our distinction and greatness."

Flag Day falls on November 30 in memory of Andrés Guacurarí, who was born on that day.
