The Order of Ipiranga (Portuguese: Ordem do Ipiranga) is the highest state honor that is awarded by the state government of São Paulo. The award is bestowed onto Brazilian citizens or foreigners that show exemplary service to the people of São Paulo. The order was instituted by decree nº 52.064 on 20 June 1969 and regulated by decree nº 52.078 since 24 June 1969. Both decrees were made by then-governor Abreu Sodré. The motto of the order, "Independence or death" (Portuguese: "Independência ou Morte"), comes from the Cry of Ipiranga made by Dom Pedro I during the War of Independence of Brazil.
