The Scillonian Cross () is a unitary authority flag created in 2002 for the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom. The flag was designed by the Scilly News, and received positive support from its readers in a popular vote, leading to it being officially registered with the Flag Institute as the official flag for the islands.
The flag's design consists of a white cross over an orange and blue background, with five white stars in the upper-right canton. Each part of the design represents a significant element for the Isles of Scilly: the white St Piran's Cross represents Cornwall, the upper orange colour represents the orange-hued sunsets the islands are known for; the lower blue colour represents the surrounding sea around the isles; while the stars represent the isles' locations.Mark Fishwick, West Country Cruising Companion: A Yachtsman's Pilot and Cruising Guide to Ports and Harbours from Portland Bill to Padstow, Including the Isles of Scilly, Fernhurst Books Limited, 2 May 2014 - Sports & Recreation - 272 pages.
