The Bunker Hill Flag, also known as the Blue Ensign of New England, is thought to have flown by continental forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill, on June 17, 1775. Historians debate the actual design of the flag, but the flag remains a very popular symbol of the battle, and of colonial unity more broadly, to this day.

At Bunker Hill, although they lost the battle, American forces inflicted heavy losses on the British, and demonstrated that their ragtag militias could put up a real fight against a much stronger opposition on paper. The Bunker Hill Flag came to be associated with this determination, and colonial unity.
