Die Fahne Hoch! is an enamel on canvas painting by American artist Frank Stella, completed in 1959. It is held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York.
It is part of a series of paintings he created in 1958–1959 known as his "Black Paintings" which flouted conventional ideas of painterly composition. Using commercial enamel paint and a house-painter's brush, he painted black stripes of the same width and evenly spaced on bare canvas, leaving the thin strips of canvas between them unpainted and exposed, along with his pencil-and-ruler drawn guidelines.
