The Order of Liberty (Ukrainian: Орден Свободи) is an award of Ukraine. The Order was instituted on April 10, 2008, by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to honour special merits of citizens for strengthening the Sovereignty and Independence of Ukraine, consolidating Ukrainian society, developing Democracy, advancing socio-economic and political reforms, and advocating the Constitutional Rights and Liberties of Man and Citizen.
Since the creation of the Order of Liberty, there were 50 recipients of the decoration. This first recipient is Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
