The coat of arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands consists of a gold-coloured escutcheon (shield) charged with a conch shell, lobster and a cactus, supported by two flamingos, and topped with a pelican in the crest.

[1] Tensions between the two territories,[2] coupled with financial troubles, led to the Turks and Caicos being given their own charter in 1848, before being placed under the administration of the Colony of Jamaica 26 years later.

[6][7] The coat of arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands are blazoned as follows:[8] Or in chief a Queen Conch Shell and a Spiny Lobster and in base a Turk's Head Cactus proper; and for the Crest: On a Wreath Or and Azure, On a Mount Vert a Pelican between two Sisal Plants proper; and for Supporters: On either side a Flamingo proper.The colours and objects on the coat of arms carry cultural, political, and regional meanings.

The queen conch shell and spiny lobster[9] allude to the islands' primary industry of fishing.

[10] The crest at the top depicts a white pelican flanked by two sisal plants[11] – evoking the islands' past trade of rope-making[12] – while the supporters grasping the shield on both sides are flamingos.
