This article is about the coat of arms of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The greater arms of the state depict the bull's head of Mecklenburg, the griffin of Pomerania, and the red eagle of Brandenburg. The lesser arms depict only the bull's head of Mecklenburg and the griffin of Pomerania. It should be compared with the arms of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz, predecessor states, along with the Duchy of Pomerania with a more complex full set of arms.
