The flag of Gabon (french: drapeau du Gabon) is a tricolour (flag), tricolour consisting of three horizontal green, yellow and blue bands. Adopted in 1960 to replace the previous colonial flag containing the Flag of France, French Tricolour at the Glossary of vexillology#Description of standard flag parts and terms, canton, it has been the flag of the Gabon, Gabonese Republic since the country gained independence that year.

Department (country Subdivision)
A department (, ) is an administrative or political division in several countries. Departments are the first-level divisions of 11 countries, nine in the Americas and two in Africa. An additional 10 countries use departments as second-level divisions, eight in Africa, and one each in the Americas and Europe.
