The Decoration for Diplomatic Merit is a foreign award granted by the Co-Sovereigns of Northwood-Oregon to foreign officials for meritious diplomatic service to Northwood-Oregon. It was created on 3 January 2022 by royal decree of Sovereign Carson I of Northwood-Oregon. It was placed into a state of dormancy on 28 June 2023 because Northwood-Oregon was no longer independently conducting its own foreign affairs due to it's membership in the High Kingdom of Mediolaurentia.

The Decoration was originally founded as a state order named the Order of Diplomatic Merit. It was reformed by Royal Decree III/2023 of Carson I as part of an effort to diversify the award system of Northwood-Oregon which primarily depended on various orders.
