The National Decorations System of Romania (Romanian: Sistemul Naţional de Decoraţii) is divided into six categories, listed below. It was re-established in 1998, after a 50-year period of during which Romania used a Soviet-style system of decorations. It is very similar to the system used in Romania in the interwar period.

The list is ordered in descending order of the awards' rank in the National System of Decorations.

[1]"The Cultural Merit" Order and medal are divided into nine equal classes (A to I), corresponding to the cultural field it is awarded. The ribbon of both the Order and the Medal gave the same design (on white background) and stripes of different colors, to identify each class:

See Order of Michael the Brave

See Order of Carol I

See Order of the Star of Romania

See Order of the Crown

The Order of Ferdinand I (Romanian: Ordinul a Ferdinand I) instituted on 10 May 1929 by the four Regency members (Prince Nicholas, Patriarch Miron Cristea, Gheorghe Buzdugan and Constantin Sărăţeanu) of the minor-King Michael I in memory of the late King Ferdinand I and to reward those who contributed to the building of The Greater Romania; The Order was the fifth highest ranking of the Romanian Decorations of the Kingdom of Romania until the abolishment of monarchy in 1947. It fell into disuse into 1937 and was abolished as a National Order during the abolishment of the Romanian Monarchy; The Order wasn't reinstated as Dynastic Order by the Romanian Royal Family as they had done with two other Orders.
