The principal flag of the Iraqi Communist Party (الحزب الشيوعي العراقي‎, "Al-Hizb al-Shīūīy al-Irāqīy") is red with a hammer & sickle in the upper hoist. It can be seen in photos on their website, along with many examples of a variant, with the hammer & sickle larger and centered (detail).

The party site also has a page with some old photos of marches from before the ICP was forced underground by the Baath in the mid-70s, but no flags can be made out.

The party has two logos, one with a white dove and a historic one highly derivative of the Qassim-era national emblem. Neither appears to feature on any flags.
