The flag of Rondônia is the official flag of the Brazilian state of Rondônia. The current flag was introduced by the 7th Decree of the state of Rondônia on 31 December 1981, a mere 9 days after Rondônia was elevated from a federal territory [pt] to a state.[1][2]

The current flag was created by 17-year-old Sílvio Carvajal Feitosa and was chosen in a contest created by the state government to choose its symbols. One of the requirements of the contest was that the proposed state flag use the same colors as the national flag.[3]
