The Order of Canada (French: Ordre du Canada) is a Canadian state order and the second-highest honour for merit in the system of orders, decorations, and medals of Canada, after the Order of Merit.

To coincide with the centennial of Canadian Confederation, the three-tiered order was established in 1967 as a fellowship recognizing the outstanding merit or distinguished service of Canadians who make a major difference to Canada through lifelong contributions in every field of endeavour, as well as efforts by non-Canadians who have made the world better by their actions. Membership is accorded to those who exemplify the order's Latin motto, desiderantes meliorem patriam, meaning "they desire a better country", a phrase taken from Hebrews 11:16.^[2] The three tiers of the order are Companion, Officer and Member. Specific people may be given extraordinary membership and deserving non-Canadians may receive honorary appointment into each grade.

加拿大勳章（法語：Ordre du Canada）是加拿大的國家勳章，在加拿大的勳章、裝飾和獎章係統中，僅次於功績勳章，為第二高的榮譽。

為了紀念加拿大聯邦成立一百周年，這一三階勳章於1967年設立，旨在表彰通過畢生的貢獻在各個領域對加拿大做出重大貢獻的加拿大人的傑出功績或卓越服務，以及那些通過行動使世界變得更美好的非加拿大人。勳章授予那些體現勳章拉丁語格言“desiderantes meliorem patriam”（意為“他們渴望一個更好的國家”，摘自《希伯來書》11:16）精神的人。勳章分為三個等級：同伴勳章、軍官勳章和成員勳章。特定人士可被授予特殊會員資格，值得表彰的非加拿大人可獲得每個等級的榮譽任命。
