The Oblast flag is a rectangular cloth (width to length ratio 2: 3) of crimson color with an image in the central part of the region's coat of arms. The height of the shield is 1/2 the width of the flag. The flag is double-sided. The top of the pole is a metal cone 1/10 of the width of the flag, the base of the cone is equal to two times the diameter of the pole. It is fixed on a cylindrical base with a height of 1/20 of the flag's width. The color of the metal from which the top is made is silver.

The reference model of the flag is kept in the office of the speaker of the Oblast Council.

History

During the rule of the Tsardom of Russia, Russian Empire, and Soviet Union, Kharkiv did not have its own flag. However, from either 1651 or 1659 to 1765, the city was the regimental center for the Kharkiv Regiment, which had its own flag, which was used at times to represent the region.
