An order or order of merit is a visible honour awarded by a sovereign state, monarch, dynastic house or organisation to a recipient, typically in recognition of individual merit.

The modern distinction between orders and decorations is somewhat vague, except that most historic chivalric orders imply a membership in a group, typically a confraternity. In a few exclusive European orders, membership is or was also limited in number. Decorations seldom have such limitations. Orders often come in multiple classes, including knights and dames, which may or may not be parallelled in decorations.
