The Order of Kim Jong Il (Korean: 김정일 훈장) is a North Korean order named after Kim Jong Il, the former leader of North Korea. It is the highest order of North Korea, along with the Order of Kim Il-Sung, and only second to one honorary title, the Hero of Labour.
The order can be awarded to individuals as well as organizations for service to the cause of the Juche ideology and socialism. Recipients include people who have contributed to the space and nuclear programs of the country.
The history of the order dates back to 2012, when it was instituted on 3 February, the 70th birthday of Kim Jong-il. It is decorated with a picture of his face, the emblem of the Workers' Party of Korea, and the flag of North Korea.
