===Coat of arms===
The original [[coat of arms]] was granted on 25 April 1986 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was enlarged and a new coat of arms was adopted. The official [[blazon]] was "[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]] a lighthouse issuant [[argent]]" ({{langx|no|I blått et oppvoksende sølv fyrtårn}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is the top of a [[lighthouse]]. The lighthouse 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 lighthouse represents the local [[Lindesnes Lighthouse]], the oldest lighthouse in Norway. It was built in 1655 on the Lindesnes peninsula. The arms were designed by Truls Nygaard who based it after a design by Rolf Dybvig. The municipal flag had the same design as the coat of arms.<ref name="NK">{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Lindesnes |access-date=2023-01-17 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Lindesnes, Vest-Agder (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-10-29.html |access-date=2023-01-17 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1986-04-25 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1986-04-25-1033?q=flagg |access-date=2023-01-17 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

The new [[coat of arms]] was granted on 1 January 2020 and it was a slightly more modern take on the old arms. The [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a lighthouse issuant and a crest a [[mural crown]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blågrønn bakgrunn, et hvitt fyrtårn med murkrone}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a lighthouse with a crown above the shield. The charge 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 new arms have a slightly different design and the addition of a [[Crown (heraldry)|mural crown]] above the [[escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]] to represent the fact that the municipality now includes the town of [[Mandal, Norway|Mandal]]. The color was also changed to a more teal blue.<ref name="NK" /><ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-11-21 |title=Har vedtatt nytt kommunevåpen |url=https://www.nrk.no/sorlandet/har-vedtatt-nytt-kommunevapen-1.14790898 |access-date=2023-01-17 |work=NRK Sørlandet |language=no}}</ref>
