The state flag of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Russia is one of the official symbols of the Sakha Republic, alongside the coat of arms and the national anthem of the Sakha Republic. The flag has four horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, the stripes are light blue (3/4 of the flag's width), white (1/16), red (1/16), and green (1/8). The flag has been used officially as the flag of the Sakha Republic since 14 October 1992. The light blue stripe is charged with a white disc in the center. The diameter of the disc is 2/5 of the flag's width.
In the Soviet era and prior to the 1991 declaration of the Sakha Republic within the Russian Federation was the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Prior to 1937, the Yakut ASSR used a flag with a blue canton containing the depiction of the Aurora and the name of the ASSR. After 1937, the flag of the Yakut ASSR was based on the flag of the Russian SFSR, modified with inscriptions.
