The Flag of the United Arab Republic (Arabic: علم الجمهورية العربية المتحدة) was adopted following the unification of Egypt and Syria into a single state known as the United Arab Republic on 22 February 1958. Syria left the union on 28 September 1961 following the 1961 Syrian coup d'état. Egypt would continue to use the name and symbols of the United Arab Republic until 1972. The flag would be readopted by Ba'athist Syria in 1980, leading to its use as a symbol of Neo-Ba'athism.
