As Tokelau is currently a non-self-governing territory of New Zealand, the Flag of New Zealand is the official flag flown in Tokelau. An alternative and unofficial flag is often flown by islanders. It is very likely that if Tokelau gains self-governance or independence, a new flag will be made official. While a referendum on self-determination in 2006 failed to carry (it was supported, but not with the necessary supermajority), another one is scheduled for 2007 or 2008.

The three stars in the unofficial flag represent the three atolls which make up the islands of Tokelau.
