This is a list of countries and territories with a flag that incorporates the Union Flag. Five Commonwealth nations have the Union Flag on their national flag. The first Commonwealth country to drop the Union Flag was Canada in 1965, after adopting a new national flag. The most recent country to drop the Union Flag from its flag was South Africa in 1994, after adopting a new national flag. The only overseas territory without the Union Flag on its current flag is Gibraltar.

The list also includes overseas territories, provinces and states.
