Fitzalan Pursuivant of Arms Extraordinary is an current officer of arms in England. As an pursuivant extraordinary, Fitzalan is a royal officer of arms, but is not a member of the corporation of the College of Arms in London. As with many other extraordinary offices of arms, Fitzalan Pursuivant obtains its title from one of the baronies held by the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England. The appointment was first made for the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837, and the first four Fitzalans subsequently became Garter Kings of Arms. The badge of office was assigned in 1958 and is derived from a Fitzalan badge of the fifteenth century. It can be blazoned An Oak Sprig Vert Acorns Or, but is also recorded as A Sprig of Oak proper.
