===Coat of arms===
Kragerø received [[town privileges]] as a [[kjøpstad]] in 1666. Upon being granted this status, the town was given an obligation to provide a galley with five canons to the King for use in the Navy. From 1666 until 1842, Kragerø was dependent on the nearby town of [[Skien (town)|Skien]] and had to pay taxes to Skien. Because of this, Kragerø used a seal which was identical to that of Skien depicting two skis, a cross, and flower decorations. After 1842, Kragerø began using a galley as its seal.<ref name="CRW" />

The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 28 January 1938 for the town of Kragerø and they were re-granted on 13 May 1960 after a municipal merger creating the present Kragerø Municipality. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Sable (heraldry)|Sable]], a galley [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På svart bunn en sølv galei}}). This means the arms have a black [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[galley]]. The galley has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms were designed by Einar Foss after a sketch made by Olaf Lia. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Kragerø |access-date=2023-09-16 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref name="CRW">{{Cite web |title=Kragerø, Telemark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-08-15.html |access-date=2023-09-16 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1960-05-13 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1960-05-13-4 |access-date=2023-09-16 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
