The Tristan da Cunha coat of arms was adopted in 2002 after the coat of arms of St. Helena was previously also valid for the Tristan da Cunha archipelago administered from there. On the other hand, the new constitution of 2009 only shows the coat of arms of St. Helena for the entire overseas territory of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha .

The coat of arms can be found in the flight part of the flag Tristan da Cunhas and in the Union flag of the administrator of Tristan da Cunha.
