The following list includes flags of counties (powiat) in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.
In Poland, territorial units (municipal, city, and county councils) may establish flags in accordance with the Act of 21 December 1978 on badges and uniforms.Dz.U. z 2016 r. poz. 38. In its original version, the act only allowed territorial units to establish coats of arms.Dz.U. z 1978 r. nr 31, poz. 130 It was not until the "Act of 29 December 1998 amending certain acts in connection with the implementation of the state system reform" that the right for provinces, counties, and municipalities to establish a flag as the symbol of their territorial unit was officially confirmed. This change benefited powiats, which were reinstated in 1999.Dz.U. z 1998 r. nr 162, poz. 1126
Since 2005, all 13 counties and the city with powiat rights (Kielce) in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship have their own flags. This flag was established by the Voivodeship itself in 2001 (the design was changed in 2013)..
