The insignia of the Jamaican Order of the Nation

The Order of the Nation is a Jamaican honour. It is a part of the Jamaican honours system and was instituted in 1973 as the second highest honour in the country–the Order of National Hero being the highest.

The honour of the Order of the Nation is often conferred on the Governor-General of Jamaica and upon any person who has been appointed as Prime Minister of Jamaica unless they are already recipients of the Order of National Hero.

Members of the order and their spouses are styled "the Most Honourable" and members wear the insignia of the order as a decoration while appending the postnominal ON to their name.

The motto of the order is "Out of many one people."
