The flag of Labuan features a blue field with the federal territory emblem displayed prominently. The blue represents the surrounding South China Sea, reflecting Labuan's identity as an island territory off the coast of Borneo. The emblem includes a crescent and star, a sailing vessel, and other maritime symbols. Labuan became a federal territory in 1984 and serves as an international offshore financial centre. The island was historically significant as a British Crown Colony and a coaling station for ships.

Labuan is known as the 'Pearl of Borneo' and is a popular wreck-diving destination, with several World War II shipwrecks in its surrounding waters.
