The Order of the Husainid House (نيشان البيت الحسيني), or the Order of the Family or the Order of Blood, is a Tunisian royal order established in 1256 AH/1839 by Ahmad Bey I, and remained in existence until the abolition of the monarchy in 1957.
This order, which has a single class, was initially awarded only to members of the Husainid family, then came to be awarded to a very small number of senior Tunisian statesmen, and finally came to be presented as a gift to foreign monarchs.
