The flag of Mon State depicts a hamsa in the centre of a red background.

The current flag was approved by the Mon State Hluttaw and officially adopted on 8 June 2018.

[1] In local legend, the city of Bago, which was founded by the Mon people, was established on the location where a hamsa sought refuge during a massive flood, hence the adoption of the bird on the flag.

[2] The former flag of Mon State, used until the adoption of the current flag on 8 June 2018, depicted a hamsa on a dark blue background and had "Mon State" (မွန်ပြည်နယ်) written underneath it.
