Őrbottyán is a town in Pest county, Hungary. Bottyán is an old Hungarian
given name for boys, meaning mace. Prefix Őr literally means "guard" in
Hungarian and refers to the nearby hill Őrhegy, which was a fortress in the
middle ages. The today settlement was created in 1970 with the unification of
two small villages, named Őrszentmiklós and Vácbottyán. It became town in 2013.

Its flag consists of three horizontal stripes which are blue, white and blue.
The coat of arms is placed in the middle of the white stripe. It is red-white
striped, and a golden bell is depicted on a blue field, representing the
bellfounding. This foundry is a local manufacture. The shield is flanked by an
ear of wheat and a grape leave.
