Civilian decorations of the United States are awards of the United States of America which are bestowed by various agencies of the United States government for acts of accomplishment benefiting the government as whole. Contrary to the awards and decorations of the United States military, U.S. civilian decorations are typically issued for sustained meritorious service over a period of time rather then for a specific heroic or meritorious act.

United States civilian awards and issued by federal, state, and local authorities with the most recognizable decorations issued on the federal level. Awards and decorations of the National Guard exist in a grey zone as civilian and military awards since they are issued by the State Adjutant General (a civilian office) but authorized under certain circumstances for wear on United States armed forces uniforms.

Certain other civilian decorations may be authorized for wear on U.S. military awards, upon approval of the military service departments. Each of the military branches also maintains their own series of civilian decorations separate from military awards.
