The coat of arms of the (Napoleonic) Kingdom of Italy was used as coat of arms for the Kingdom of Italy (1805-1814).

The coat of arms depicted a Napoleonic eagle wielding a thunderbolt, with superimposed the heraldic shield of the kingdom with the Légion d'honneur, and, over the eagle, the Iron Crown of Lombardy.

The heraldic shield of the kingdom has a silver pale charged with the blue Milanese serpent; Both sides of the pale are divided horizontally: The upper right field shows the papal parasol with the keys of Saint Peter; The upper left shows the Venetian lion, but without bible and with a Phrygian cap on its head; The lower right quarter shows the white eagle of the house of Este (for Modena) and the lower left shows the arms of Piedmont, but under to the right charged with a silver tower (for Rovigo and Feltre)[citation needed].

The coat of arms was used on the coins minted in the kingdom.
