The Order of the Two Rivers (ar|وسام الرافدين Wisam Al Rafidain) was an Order awarded by the Kings of Iraq and then the Presidents of Iraq.
It was named after the two rivers, the Euphrates and Tigris, that flow through the middle of the country. It was initially awarded by the kings of Iraq between 1922 when the monarchy was established, and 1958 when the monarchy ended. It was continued by the presidents of Iraq through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.[1]
It had five classes and two divisions (military and civil).[2]
