"Have You a Red Cross Service Flag?" is a World War I-era poster created by the prominent American illustrator Jessie Willcox Smith (1863–1935). The poster was designed to support the American Red Cross during a time when the organization was heavily involved in providing aid to soldiers and civilians affected by the global conflict. Smith, who was well-known for her work in children's literature illustrations, brought her distinctive style to the patriotic piece, which was intended to encourage viewers to contribute to the Red Cross and to recognize the service of those who were aiding the war effort.

The poster features the image of a Red Cross nurse, a symbol of hope and care, which resonated with the public's sentiment of supporting the troops and the humanitarian mission during the war. The use of the service flag motif in the poster's title was a reference to the flags that families displayed in their homes to indicate that a member was serving in the armed forces; in this context, it suggested that supporting the Red Cross was another form of service to the nation.

As a piece of wartime propaganda, "Have You a Red Cross Service Flag?" played a role in the broader campaign to mobilize the American home front for the war effort. It is an example of how artists and illustrators of the time used their talents to contribute to the cause, and it reflects the themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and compassion that were prevalent in American society during World War I.

Jessie Willcox Smith's poster remains a significant historical artifact, not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and social significance. It is a testament to the power of visual media in shaping public opinion and rallying support for important causes. The poster is preserved in various collections and continues to be studied by those interested in wartime art, illustration history, and the role of women artists in early 20th-century America.
