The Order of Prince Danilo I (Montenegrin: Orden Knjaza Danila I; Cyrillic: Орден Књаза Данила I), founded as the Order of Merit for the Independence of Montenegro (Red zasluga za nezavisimost Crne Gore) and also known as the Order of Danilo I or the Order of Independence, is a Montenegrin order instituted at Cetinje on St George's Day, 23 April 1853 (O.S.; 5 May N.S.), by Prince Danilo I, the first secular ruler of Montenegro, following the successful defence of the country against the Ottoman Empire in the war of 1852–1853. It was the first order instituted by the Montenegrin state and remained its senior award for merit throughout the Principality (1852–1910) and the Kingdom of Montenegro (1910–1918). Its motto, За независимост Црне Горе ("For the Independence of Montenegro"), unites the founder's name with what its historian has called the basic credo of the Montenegrin national programme.
Following the fall of the monarchy in 1918, the Order has been maintained as a dynastic order of the Royal House of Montenegro.
