The Coast Guard Honor Guard Badge is a decoration of the United States Coast Guard which recognizes those personnel who are/have been permanently assigned to the Ceremonial Honor Guard Unit of a U.S. Coast Guard command located in Alexandria, VA. The badge was inspired by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Guard Identification Badge.

To be awarded the Coast Guard Honor Guard Badge, a service member must serve six months to one year as a member of a Coast Guard Honor Guard unit and have upheld the Honor Guard values.

The badge is then worn directly beneath all awards and decorations on the left pocket of the Coast Guard uniform. The badge is worn on the right pocket following departure from an Honor Guard assignment.
