Nishan Sahib ou nisan sahib est le nom du drapeau sikh qui est placé au-dessus des gurdwaras, les temples sikhs, et les autres lieux religieux importants dans le sikhisme. Nishan vient du perse et veut dire drapeau, sahib vient de l'arabe et se traduit par « maître », « seigneur » ; c'est un titre honorifique souvent utilisé dans le sikhisme comme dans le nom du Livre saint : le Guru Granth Sahib. Le nom de Jhanda Sahib est aussi utilisé pour désigner le drapeau sikh. Il est normalement présent lors des défilés religieux où le Guru Granth Sahib est porté en signe de procession.

The Nishan Sahib (Gurmukhi: ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ niśāna sāhiba) is a Sikh triangular flag made of cotton or silk cloth, with a tassel at its end. The word, Nishan Sahib means exalted ensign, and the flag is hoisted on a tall flagpole, outside most Gurdwaras. The flagpole itself, covered with fabric, ends with a Khanda on top (In the past an Astbuj, nagani barsha or a teer would be placed on top). The emblem on the flag is known as Khanda, which depicts a double-edged sword called a khanda (Miri te Piri) (☬) in the centre, a chakkar which is circular, and flanked by two single-edged swords, or kirpans. Almost all Sikh warriors used to wear it in the eighteenth century, and Nihangs of today still do. The Khanda Sahib is not to be confused with the Nihang's which was the first symbol of the Khalsa.

The Khanda was not introduced by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji but it was a plain yellow banner. Traditional symbol of the Khalsa Panth (corps of initiated Sikhs), the Nishan Sahib can be seen from far away, signifying the presence of Khalsa in the neighbourhood. It is taken down every Baisakhi (harvest festival, mid-April in the Gregorian calendar and first in the Nanakshahi calendar), and replaced with a fresh flag, and the flagpole refurbished.
