L’ordre national du Mérite est un ordre français qui a été institué le 3 décembre 1963 par le général de Gaulle. Il récompense les mérites distingués, militaires (d'active et de réserve) ou civils, rendus à la nation française. Il remplace d'anciens ordres ministériels et coloniaux.
Sa création permet de revaloriser l'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur créé par Napoléon Bonaparte le 20 mai 1802 pour récompenser les mérites éminents.
