There was no single flag during the Tsardom. Instead, there were multiple flags:

• Standards used by the Tsar:[45]
  • Standard of the Tsar of Moscow (1693–1700): white-blue-red tricolor with golden double-headed eagle in the center.[45] Replaced by the Imperial standard in 1700 (see below).[45]
  • Imperial Standard of the Tsar of Russia: black double-headed eagle carrying St. Vladimir Red Coat of Arms, on a golden rectangular field, adopted in 1700 instead of the older white-blue-red Standard of the Tsar of Moscow.[45]
• Civil Flag: The early Romanov Tsars instituted the two-headed eagle Imperial Flag of the Tsar, which origin dates back to 1472, as a Civil Flag, it remained the Civil Flag of Russia until replaced during the Empire in 1858.[46]
• Civil Ensign of Russia: the white-blue-red tricolor, that was adopted on 20 January 1705 by decree of Peter I.[45]
• Naval Ensign of the Imperial Russian Navy: white field with a blue saltire, adopted in 1712.[47] Before that, the naval ensign of Russia was white-blue-red tricolor.[47]
• Naval Jack of the Imperial Russian Navy: red field with a blue saltire, adopted in 1700.
