Degel HaTorah (or Degel haTorah) (דגל התורה Hebrew for "Flag/Banner [of] the Torah") is an Israeli mostly Ashkenazi Haredi Judaism political party with a small number of seats (2-3) in the Knesset, Israel's national parliament.
Degel HaTorah mostly reprents the so-called "Lithuanian wing" of the non-Hasidic Haredim (known by some as "Mitnagdim") as opposed to the Hasidic dominated Agudat Israel party.
Degel HaTorah's rabbinical arbiter (posek) as of 2006 is nonagenarian Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliashiv of Jerusalem.
