The Order of the Righteous Son of Sudan (Arabic: وسام إبن السودان البار, romanized: wisām ibn as-Sūdān al-bārr) or Order of the Loyal Son of Sudan is a state decoration of Sudan established on 16 November 1961 by Ibrahim Abboud and given to male Sudan citizens who protected the state's interests.

The Order can be granted more than once but after three years. This period is reduced to one year for employees if they are referred to retirement. Similar to other orders and medals, it remains the property of the awardee, and their heirs as a souvenir but the heirs don’t have the right to carry it. The order can be withdrawn by the head of state when a dishonourable act is committed by the awardee.
