The Order of the Spanish Republic (Spanish: "Orden de la República Española") was founded in 1932 in the Second Spanish Republic for civil and military merit to the state.

[1] It replaced the orders of merit of the former Spanish Monarchy and had the mural crown instead of the royal one.

There was a special collar for heads of state and two medals were attached to this order of merit.

The ribbon was red with a white border.

After the military defeat of the Spanish Republic, Gen. Francisco Franco abolished all Republican Orders and instituted new ones.
