The Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise (Ukrainian: Орден князя Ярослава Мудрогo, romanizedOrden kniazia Yaroslava Mudroho) is a Ukrainian award.[1] It is awarded for distinguished services to the state and people of the Ukrainian nation in the field of state building, strengthening the international prestige of Ukraine, development of economy, science, education, culture, art, health care, for outstanding charitable, humanistic and public activities. The Order was instituted on 23 August 1995 by the Ukrainian President, Leonid Kuchma.

Since its founding in 1995, the Order has been the highest order of Ukraine for awarding citizens of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons; since 1998, the highest award for citizens of Ukraine is the title of Hero of Ukraine (with the award of the Order of the Golden Star or the Order of the State); for foreigners and stateless persons, the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise continued to be the highest order of Ukraine until the establishment of the Order of Liberty in 2008.

The insignia of the order was designed by sculptor and professor of the National Academy Of Fine Arts And Architecture Valeriy Shvetsov.[2]

The Order is awarded in five classes and has a blue ribbon with a yellow stripe on each edge.
