The Order of the Propitious Star of Punjab (Persian: کوکب اقبال پنجاب Kaukab-i Iqbal-i Punjab) was a dynastic order of knighthood of the Sikh Empire created in 1837 by Maharaja Ranjit Singh to commemorate the marriage of his grandson Nau Nihal Singh. It had three numbered grades, the order was conferred to various princes, peers, and even foreign soldiers. In addition to the three classes, an unofficial Grand Master class is also listed in some sources.
