The Imperial and Royal Order of Saint George or simply Order of Saint George (Template:Lang-de) is a dynastic order of chivalry and thus a house order of the House of Habsburg, the former Imperial and Royal House of the Holy Roman Empire, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and further nations.

It is a European and non-partisan order, which supports the transnational idea of Mitteleuropa (old-Austrian definition) and increased need for cooperation between the countries of Central and Southeastern Europe. It is committed to Christianity and a united self-confident Europe. It has Recipients in Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Serbia and the United Kingdom.^[1]
