The Order of Duke Trpimir, or more fully the Order of Duke Trpimir with Neck Badge and Morning Star (Red kneza Trpimira s ogrlicom i Danicom), is an order of the Republic of Croatia. It ranks sixth in the Croatian order of precedence after the Grand Order of King Dmitar Zvonimir. It is awarded to Croatian and foreign ministerial level officials and others for merit in contributing to the independence, integrity and international reputation of the Republic of Croatia, the construction of Croatia, and development of relationships between Croatia and other countries.

On the disk is an equestrian representation of Duke Trpimir, a medieval Prince of Dalmatia and Duke of Croats. On the lower part of the silver border is the name "TRPIMIR". The star of the order features the center medallion as above, but with a gilt rather than silver border, on a star with eight longer and eight shorter silver rays, with gold rays between.
