The Madeiran honorary insignia are decorations awarded by the Government of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, which ‘aim to distinguish, in life or posthumously, citizens, organisations or institutions that stand out for personal or institutional merit, acts, civic achievements or services rendered to the Region’ (Regional Legislative Decree no. 21/2003/M).

The insignia were instituted by Regional Legislative Decree no. 21/2003/M of 13 August and regulated by Regional Regulatory Decree no. 9/2004/M of 12 April.

Its allocation is decided by resolution of the Regional Government Council, on the proposal of any member of the Regional Government or any member of the Regional Legislative Assembly.
