The Ashgabat Flagpole (Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň Baş Baýdagy, lit. ''Main flag of Turkmenistan'') is a flagpole in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. It is 133 metres (436 feet) tall,[1] making it the 7th tallest free–standing and 8th tallest flagpole in the world. It was erected on 29 June 2008. It was the tallest free–standing flagpole in the world until being surpassed by the 162 m (531 ft) National Flagpole in Azerbaijan on 1 September 2010. The Vice-president of the Guinness Book of World Records at the time, Greig Glenday, came to Ashgabat as a witness, and handed over a certificate of the record.[2]

The flagpole flies a 52.5 m × 35 m (172 ft × 115 ft) flag of Turkemenistan which weighs 420 kilograms (930 pounds).[3] The flagpole was built by the Turkish construction company Polimeks.[2] The ceremonial raising of the flag on 29 June 2008 was attended by members of the Turkmen government, representatives of public organisations, the media, and the people.[4]

Despite the flagpole's height, it is not the tallest structure in Ashgabat. It is surpassed by the 211 metres (692 ft) tall Turkmenistan Tower in height by 78 metres.
