There are a number of national symbols of Luxembourg, representing Luxembourg or its people in either official or unofficial capacities.
Under Luxembourgish law, 'national emblem' (French: emblèmes nationaux) is strictly defined as the national anthem, the national flag, the national coat of arms, and the national civil ensign.
