The Order of the Star of Jordan (Wisam al-Kawkab al-Urduni) or The Order of Hussein ibn Ali (Wisam al-Hussein ibn Ali) is an award and order of Jordan and is awarded for military or civil merit.

It was founded in honour of his father, by King Abdullah I on 22 June 1949. It was the first indigenous Jordanian order, as prior to this date King Abdullah had only awarded decorations established by his father Sharif Hussein.^[1] It was designed by Garrard & Co and is inspired by decorations awarded during the Ottoman Empire.^[2]

The order is made up of 5 Grades: Grand Cordon, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Member.
