The Royal Order of the Chrysanthemum (大勲位菊花章) is the Bai Empire's highest-level title order. It is posthumously given by the Government of the Bai Empire for actions which are deemed to be heroic, defined as "acts of outstanding bravery or distinction which can be remembered and exemplified for all time by other citizens" or "extraordinary service furthering the interests of the state and people". Only Bai citizens are eligible for the award.

The title was first established by Emperor Guangzhi with the release of Imperial Decree No. 218 of 1821 and the first recipient of the award was his father, Emperor Chenghong, the founder of the Middle Bai Dynasty. Since then, a total of 245 men and 22 women have received the award. Briefly superseded by the Order of the Republic during the War of Fellow Brothers, the award was reinstated in 1962 during the Imperial Restoration.
