List of Taiwanese flags
 | It has been suggested that List of Chinese flags be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2014. |
Taiwan has been controlled by various governments and has been associated with various flags throughout its history. Since 1945, the Republic of China controls the island; thus the flag most commonly associated with it is the Flag of the Republic of China. Since Taiwan makes up almost 100% of the ROC's territory, the country is usually referred to as Taiwan.
