The Order of Barbados is a national Order of honours and decorations for Barbados.

The first Order of Barbados was instituted by Queen Elizabeth II by letters patent dated 25 July 1980.

[4] The Order under the Republic of Barbados consists of the following honours and decorations:[4] The Order while Barbados was still a Commonwealth realm (1966–2021) consisted of four classes of members, two of which were subdivided into two grades.

There was a limit as to how many appointments could be made to each grade each year.

[3][7] When the Order of the Commonwealth realm of Barbados became obsolete, no further appointments were made with this former Order, although "all appointments, awards or decorations conferred prior to 30 November 2021 pursuant to the Letters Patent shall continue to be acknowledged as validly conferred; and all holders of appointments, awards or decorations conferred pursuant to the Letters Patent shall be deemed to be members of the (new) Order".
