The Jeddah Flagpole is a freestanding flagpole in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Standing 171 metres (561 ft) high, it was the tallest flagpole in the world from 2014 until 2021,^[1] when the Cairo Flagpole in Cairo, Egypt was erected at a height of 201.952 m (662.57 ft).^[2]

The cylindrical flagpole was built of 500 tons of steel in September 2014 by the Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiative and Al-Babtain Power & Telecom. The flagpole sections were lifted into place by a Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane with a 182-meter boom operated by Gulf Haulage and Heavy Lift Company.^{[citation needed]}
