The coat of arms of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is the official heraldic symbol of the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. It was designed by Léon Joner.

The main part of the shield is blue with a yellow ship, said to be the Grande Hermine, which brought Jacques Cartier to Saint-Pierre on June 15, 1536. Three square flags placed along the top recall the origin of most inhabitants of the islands, from left to right, Basques, Bretons, and Normans. It is crowned with a Naval crown.

The unofficial flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is based on it.
