The Order of Nunavut (Template:Lang-fr, Template:Lang-iu, Template:Lang-ikt) is a civilian honour for merit in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Instituted in 2010 it is the highest honour which can be bestowed by the Government of Nunavut. It is intended to honour current and former residents of the territory (or the territory which became Nunavut).
Creation and history
The Order was created by the passage of the Order of Nunavut Act in late 2009. The award is modelled on the orders of the Canadian provinces. Inductees are entitled to use the postnominal letters ONu.[1]
Eligibility and advisory committee
A maximum of three individuals may be inducted by the commissioner of Nunavut each year. An advisory committee consisting of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, the Senior Judge of the Nunavut Court of Justice and the President of Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. Like other provincial orders active politicians and judges cannot be appointed to the order while in office.[1] Like the National Order of Quebec the award is presented in the territory's Parliament. Although the Commissioner of the territory bestows the award, he or she is also automatically a member of the order ex-officio.

The following is a list of members of the order:
- Chancellors/Commissioners
