This list of tallest flagpoles by height in India includes completed flagpoles which are either free–standing or supported, excluding the height of any pedestal (plinth), building, or other base platform which may elevate them. Due to the list's incomplete nature, flagpoles shorter than 50 m (160 ft) are not ranked.
