There are four orders in Ghana: Order of the Star of Ghana, Order of the Volta, Medal for Gallantry and Grand Medal.

These were instituted in 1960 as a replacement for the British honours system that was conferred under the Gold Coast and the Dominion of Ghana.

President John Kufuor added a controversial Grand Order of the Star and Eagles of Ghana in June 2008.
