The Flag of Pandya (Tamil pronunciation:[pɑːɳɖɪjərkoɖɪ]) was used by the Pandyan Dynasty and consisted of the single fish or twin fish.[1][2] There is no reference or description about the flag. Therefore, any Pandya flags used in media are created for the purpose of illustration. There are flags with double fish or single fish as per archaeological findings and historians's illustration.[3][4]

12th-century Tamil court poet Ottakoothar wrote a verse mentions about the Pandyan flag while comparing to Chola flag.[5]
வெற்றிப் புலிக்கொடிக்கு மீனமோ அம்மானே
— Ottakoothar
Literal Meaning: Can the flag of the Pandyas match the flag of the Cholas?
