The Order of the Satsuma-Ryukyu Kingdom (薩摩琉球国勲章) was an order issued by the Satsuma Domain as a commemorative item for its participation in the 1867 Paris Exposition. It is commonly known as the Satsuma-Ryukyu Order (薩琉勲章). It is regarded as an order that the Japanese domain governor Shimazu Tadayoshi hastily presented to Napoleon III.
