'''Southern Cross Flags''' are flags which depict the '''Southern Cross'''. "Southern Cross" is the English name of [[Crux|Crux Australis]], a [[constellation]] visible in the [[Southern Hemisphere]]. It is also depicted in [[coat of arms|coats of arms]] of various countries and sub-national entities. This star constellation is only visible on the southern hemisphere and it therefore symbolises the southern location of its users.
The term ''Southern Cross'' can also refer to the blue [[saltire]] as used in various [[flags of the Confederate States of America]] in the [[American Civil War]].
This is an incomplete list and some of the flags in this list might not have official status. Also, note that [[Flag terminology|flag proportions]] may vary between the different flags, and sometimes even vary between different versions of the same flag.
