The Order of the Star of Jordan (Wisam al-Kawkab al-Urduni) or The Order of Hussein ibn Ali (Wisam al-Hussein ibn Ali) is an award and order of Jordan and is awarded for military or civil merit.
It was founded in honour of his father, by King Abdullah I on 22 June 1949. It was the first indigenous Jordanian order, as prior to this date King Abdullah had only awarded decorations established by his father Sharif Hussein. It was designed by Garrard & Co and is inspired by decorations awarded during the Ottoman Empire.
The order is made up of 5 Grades: Grand Cordon, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Member.
