The flag of Salt Lake City, Utah consists of two horizontal bars of blue and white with a sego lily in the canton. It was adopted in 2020 after a city-wide contest to replace a previous flag. The blue and white stripes symbolize the water and salt of the Great Salt Lake, on the shores of which the city stands. Additionally, the white recalls the Winter Olympics, which were held in Salt Lake City in 2002. Sego is the state flower of Utah, recognized for its resistance to arid climate and the importance of the plant's edible bulbs to Shoshone and Mormon pioneers. Three sego petals referring to that Salt Lake City is the only state capital with a three-word name. The golden center of the sego is intended to symbolize the future of the city. This is the fourth flag in the history of the city, but in May 2025 the city council approved mayor Erin Mendenhall's designs for three new city flags:
- the Sego Celebration Flag, based on the Juneteenth flag;
- the Sego Belonging Flag, based on the Progress Pride flag;
- and the Sego Visibility Flag, based on the transgender pride flag.
Each is identical to its original flag, except for a sego lily in the canton. The flags were adopted in response to a new state law restricting the flying of the original flags.
