The flag is celestial blue with a white barn swallow slightly shifted to the fly, taken from the coat of arms and superimposing a multi coloured annulet.
Alongside the hoist is a white inscription "GLADSAXE" and in canton is a white logo version of the coat of arms.

Shield Or a barn swallow volant Sable with breast Argent, chief Azure four trefoils Or in fess.
Meaning:
The swallow (Latin: (Hirundo rustica)) is symbolising the rapid growth of Gladsaxe, which finally (no year mentioned) gained the status of a city.
The four trefoils are representing the four former villages of Buddinge, Bagsværd, Mørkhøj and Søborg.
