The Danish Order of the Armed Arm (den Væbnede Arms Orden) was a Danish order of chivalry, instituted by Christian IV of Denmark 1616, when twelve noblemen were knighted. After that occasion, no new knights of the order were made, and it was merged with the Order of the Elephant in 1633–1634. The order is regarded as a predecessor of the Order of the Dannebrog.
