The municipality of María Grande (7,101 inhabitants in 2001) is located in the center-west of the Entre Ríos Province, 90 km from Paraná.

The flag of María Grande is horizontally divided blue-white-green. Near the hoist is placed a white disk with six white rays. Inside the disk are placed a black bird with a white wheat spike in the mouth and a red star, the whole inscribed in a black cog wheel.

The flag was selected in a public contest, devised by the Municipal Councillor Eliana Sacks and officially launched on 20 June 2013. The contest, open from 25 July to 30 August, yielded 23 submissions. The jury met on 2 September and the winning design was unveiled on 24 October.

The flag was designed by Manuel Martínez Campagna. The historian Gonzalo Abella explains that its colours and design are linked with the flag known as the Federal Banner of Andresito Artigas, a variant of the Federal Banner used today as the Entre Ríos flag. Abella added that green and blue were not considered as colours by the Guarani but as parts of life, green representing the "lower" environment and blue the "upper" environment.
