The Order of Diplomatic Service Merit (Hindi: राजनयिक सेवा सर्वोत्कृष्टता मानपदवी, IAST: Raajanayik Seva Sarvotkrshtata Manapadvi) was a chivalric order of the State of Vishwamitra which was conferred by the Rashtradhyaksh for "outstanding meritorious services in the interest of enhancing national prestige and promoting amity (a friendly relationship) with allies." It was one of the highest state decorations of the nation, and was conferred only at the pleasure of the Sovereign Grand Master.

It was established on 12 December 2020, by the Rashtradhyaksh Varuna Sriraya issuing a decree[1] to confer upon individuals the decoration for their services to the national prestige and also for promotion of best relations with the allies of the nation.

The order was formally disestablished through Royal Decree number 247-2022 issued on 25 October 2022 and was replaced by the Supreme Order of the Hibiscus. The final induction to the order was made on 29 September 2022 during the Autumn Honours 2022.
