The symbols of city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, State of Chiapas, Mexico, are the coat of arms or seal and the municipal flag.

In 1941, at the suggestion of the historian Fernando Castañón Gamboa, the city council of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, presided over by Fidel Martínez, adopted as its municipal coat of arms the local pre-Columbian heraldric figures used in times of Mexica control: the figure of a rabbit standing upright upon a jawbone with three teeth.

From 1941 to 1996, the design of the coat of arms of Tuxtla Gutiérrez was modified six times without being actually adopted by the official approval of the city council.

In a regular town hall session on 20 June 1996, the city council announced a competition in which the people of Tuxtla would compete in redesigning the coat of arms.

Thus the coat of arms actually corresponds to its toponymy, bringing to mind its indigenous origin in a distinct departure from European heraldry norms.
