Rectangular defaced black-fimbriated horizontal triband tricolour of unequal sizes in green, yellow (mustard), and white, charged with an indigenous warrior charging a bow and arrow, a pouncing jaguar, and a five-pointed star all in black.

The flag of Amazonas was officially adopted by means of the Commissarial Decree Nº 090 of August 21, 1974.

The dimensions of the flag are 2.10 meters in length by 1.30 meters in width. The green top stripe is 90 cm in width, the yellow mustard stripe is 8 cm with two fimbriated stripes in black 0.5 cm each, and the white stripe is 32 cm. The flag is defaced by three charges all in sable, the Indian represents the people of Amazonas, the jaguar its fauna and natural resources, and the star represents the capital city of Leticia.

The Gubernatorial Flag is not defaced but charged with the Coat of arms of Amazonas in the centre of the upper band and it serves as the Governor's Standard.
