Jubaland has had a wide array of flags in its modern history, ranging from that during its British East Africa Province of Jubaland era, during the transitionary Trans-Juba period of Jubaland, as well as the current Jubaland's federal state flag.

British East Africa

During its period as a British East Africa province, Jubaland had a variation of the British blue ensign.

Contemporary assortment

During Jubaland's development phase various flags had been proposed, as well as the one used during the existence of the self-proclaimed Republic of Azania, which resembled the Russian flag. The current flag of Jubaland was adopted at a conference on 28 February 2013 at Kismayo. There is also a sub-federal level flag for Gedo.

In 2023 conservatives and right-wing media attacked a flag design for Minnesota, advancing a conspiracy theory that it represents a Somali "conquest" of Minnesota due to similarities with the current Jubaland flag.
