The Pride of Performance (Urdu: تمغہِ حسنِ کارکردگی), officially known as the Presidential Pride of Performance, is an award bestowed by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to recognize people with "notable achievements in the field of art, science, literature, sports, and nursing".

[1][2] The Pride of Performance is the highest national literary award of Pakistan[3] conferred upon its citizens and, while it recognizes literary contribution, it can also be conferred upon foreign nationals.

The award seeks to recognize notable achievements which are determined by the Pakistan Warrant of Precedence of 1980.

The fourth president Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was the first head of state who did not confer or announce the award, and later in 2018, due to disqualification of Nawaz Sharif, the award was subsequently delayed.

[7] The award recommendations are made by the country's administrative units or respective ministry to the state governments where officials forward it to the Cabinet Secretariat and then president or federal government for final approval.
