The Supreme Order of Christ (Italian: Ordine Supremo del Cristo) was the highest order of chivalry awarded by the pope. According to some scholars, it owes its origin to the same Order of Christ of the Knights Templar, from which came the Order of Christ that was awarded by the kings of Portugal and the emperors of Brazil. The Portuguese order had originally both a secular and religious component; by the 18th century, the religious component had died out.

The Supreme Order of Christ is the highest order in Rome, the honourees of this order are picked by the Grand Masters.
