The New Order (Ordem Nova) was a Portuguese neo-fascist party that existed between 1978 and 1982.

The organisation was created by Gilbert Santos e Castro, a former commando leader in Angola. The European Parliament report by the Committee of Inquiry Into the Rise of Fascism and Racism in Europe defined its ideology as revolutionary fascist and hyper-nationalist.[1] The report also mentions close links to the Fuerza Nueva in Spain. Now disbanded, it is said to continue its activities underground, providing translations of CEDADE publications for distribution in Brazil.
