The country with the oldest flag in the world is that of Denmark. The Danish flag, called the Danneborg, dates back to 13th century A.D.

It is believed to have been in existence since June 15, 1219 though it was officially recognised as the national flag in 1625. Flags, themselves, date further back.

Crude flag-like vexilloids were used in ancient Egypt around 3400 B.C. Early flags were used in China around 1500 B.C. The first modern flag was the Dutch Prinsenvlag; it is no longer in use.
