The Imperial Order of the Dragon of Annam (Vietnamese: Đại Nam Long Tinh / 大南龍星, Nam Việt Long bội tinh / 南越龍佩星, Nam-Long bội-tinh / 南龍佩星; French: Ordre impérial du Dragon d'Annam, Ordre du Dragon Vert) was created in 1886 in the city of Huế, by Emperor Đồng Khánh of the Imperial House of Annam, upon the "recommendation" of the President of France as a jointly awarded French colonial order. The Order was designed as a reward for services to the state, the French colonial government, or the emperor.
Awarded individuals are incorporated into the Đại Nam Long Tinh Viện (chữ Hán: 大南龍星院), similar to the French National Order of the Legion of Honour.
