A bandeira das Illas Feroe, tamén coñecida como Merkið en feroés, que significa "a bandeira", consiste dunha cruz nórdica de cor vermella perfilada en azul sobre un pano de cor branca. É semellante ao deseño doutras bandeiras nórdicas, unha tradición estabelecida pola Dannebrog de Dinamarca,[1][2] da cal as Illas Feroe son un territorio autónomo.[3]
As proporcións da cruz nórdica da bandeira son de 6-1-2-1-6 partes no ancho da bandeira e de 6-1-2-1-12 partes ao longo da bandeira.

Legend states that a red cloth with the white cross simply fell from the sky in the middle of the 13th-century Battle of Valdemar, after which the Danes were victorious. As a badge of divine right, Denmark flew its cross in the other Scandinavian countries it ruled and as each nation gained independence, they incorporated the Christian symbol.

The Christian cross, for instance, is one of the oldest and most widely used symbols in the world, and many European countries, such as the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Greece and Switzerland, adopted and currently retain the Christian cross on their national flags.
