The Lamb and Flag is a centrally located public house and old coaching inn at 12 St Giles', Oxford, England. It is opposite the Eagle and Child where the Inklings (including J. R. R. Tolkien) met. The Inklings moved their meetings to the Lamb and Flag in 1962, but the Eagle and Child is more well-known for its association with the group, especially Tolkien.

The pub is a favoured location of Oxford students and lies just north of St John's College, who manage it. The Lamb and Flag Passage runs through the south side of the building, connecting St Giles' with Museum Road to the rear.

Since the college took over the management of the pub in 1987, a Lamb & Flag scholarship has been instituted for graduate students.
