Black Flag (Organ Of The Anarchist Black Cross) is the name of a British anarchist newspaper, mainly known for its coverage of international anarchist politics as well as supporting " class war" prisoners. Black Flag was founded by Albert Meltzer and Stuart Christie in 1970.

The name of the periodical is drawn from the black flag, which is a traditional anarchist symbol. The black flag symbol dates back to the 1880s, predating the better-known "Circle A" symbol by at least half a century.
