Authorized foreign decorations of the United States military are those military decorations which have been approved for wear by members of the United States armed forces but whose awarding authority is the government of a country other than the United States. The wear of such decorations may either be approved on a case-by-case basis or a general order may be declared allowing for blanket approval to all U.S. service members to wear a particular non-U.S. decoration.

The following is a list of foreign decorations which have been approved for wear on United States military uniforms. Such awards are always worn after all United States decorations and international military awards. The list below is by no means comprehensive, but does display the awards which have been most commonly bestowed to U.S. service members by the governments of foreign countries.
