Yukon is the westernmost of Canada's three territories. It was named after the Yukon River, Yukon meaning "Great River" in Gwich’in.

The flag of Yukon, Canada, is a green, white, and blue tricolour with the Coat of Arms of Yukon at the centre above a wreath of fireweed, the territorial flower. An official flag for Yukon was created during the 1960s, a decade where the National Flag of Canada was chosen as well as several other provincial flags were created. The Flag of Yukon was officially selected from a territory-wide design competition in 1967, with the winning design adopted on March 1, 1968.
