The State Emblem of Ukraine is the official symbol of the state of Ukraine in the form of a golden trident on a blue shield. It is one of the three state symbols of Ukraine, along with the flag and anthem.

The trident was approved as the small coat of arms of Ukraine on 19 February 1992 by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada, along with its graphic representation. In 1996, its status was enshrined in Article 20 of the Constitution of Ukraine, where it is also referred to as the "Sign of the Princely State of Volodymyr the Great."

The state symbols embody state sovereignty, supremacy and independence of power.
