The Order of National Liberation (Serbo-Croatian: Orden narodnog oslobođenja; Cyrillic: Орден народног ослобођеља) was a decoration of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, the fifth-highest decoration in the series of Yugoslav decorations. The order was founded by Josip Broz Tito on 15 August 1943. It was awarded for "outstanding contribution in organizing and directing the uprising and the creation and development of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia". It was designed by Croatian sculptor Antun Augustinčić in 1945. It is in the form of a badge worn on the left of the chest.
