The Grand Order of King Dmitar Zvonimir (Croatian: Velered kralja Dmitra Zvonimira s lentom i Danicom) or more fully the Grand Order of King Dmitar Zvonimir with sash and Morning Star (Velered kralja Dmitra Zvonimira s lentom i Danicom), is an order of the Republic of Croatia. It ranks fourth in the Croatian order of precedence, after the Grand Order of King Petar Krešimir IV. The order is among only four orders that hold the title of grand order, and has one class like all Croatian orders and decorations (except the Homeland's Gratitude Medal).
Only highly ranked state and religious officials, whether foreign or national, are eligible for this order.[2]
