The flag shown here is a local flag of Guadeloupe: a red field with a green band along the top and bottom, each separated from the red by a thin white stripe, and a single gold star towards the hoist. It is associated with the Guadeloupean independence movement (the UPLG) and used as a symbol of local identity. Officially, Guadeloupe — an overseas region of France in the Caribbean — flies the French tricolour.

About the Guadeloupe flag

Guadeloupe is an overseas region and department of France in the Lesser Antilles, so it is part of both France and the European Union and uses the Euro. Unlike Martinique, which adopted an official local flag in 2023, Guadeloupe has no official regional flag — the French tricolour remains official. Several unofficial local flags are used to express Guadeloupean identity; this green, red and gold-star design is the one associated with the UPLG. FlagAtlas shows it for reference and takes no position on the independence question.
