The Flying Handbag is a long-established gay pub in Blackpool, UK. It originally formed part of the old Flamingo complex on Talbot Road, opposite Blackpool North Railway Station. Internal doors linked the two venues, the pub continuing to serve alcohol to clubgoers after its own doors had closed, and serving as a quiet "chill-out" area.

It moved to new, purpose-built premises on January 20th 2006, occupying a former open-air car park on the corner of Queen Street and Lord Street, not far from the original site. The transfer of the Flamingo to the old Odeon building next door a week later saw the completion of local gay entrepreneur Basil Newby's "gay village" project, with four large venues on one block.
