The Darjah Utama Nila Utama (English: Order of Nila Utama) is Singapore's third most prestigious national honour instituted in 1975. It is an Order conferred by the President of Singapore and was originally intended to be the highest award to be conferred to a foreign dignitary. It was later awarded to mostly citizens of Singapore.

The honour is named after the founder of the Kingdom of Singapura, Sang Nila Utama.

As of 1 August 2019, the Order has three different grades:

  • the Order of Nila Utama (With High Distinction),
  • the Order of Nila Utama (With Distinction), and
  • the Order of Nila Utama.

Recipients of the honour are entitled to use the post-nominal letters DUNU.
