The Order of Suvorov (Russian Орден Суворова) is a Soviet award, named after Aleksandr Suvorov, was established on July 29, 1942 (during World War II) by a Decision of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The medal was created to award army personnel for exceptional duty in combat operations. The Order of Suvorov was broken down into three different classes: 1st class, 2nd class, and 3rd class. Georgi Zhukov became the first recipient of the 1st class Order of Suvorov, on January 28, 1943.

The 1st class medal is awarded to army commanders for exceptional direction of combat operations. It consists of a 55mm solid platinum star with a 30mm platinum medallion in the center with the bust of Aleksandr Suvorov in solid gold over a gold wreath of leaves surronded by inscription "Alexander Suvorov" in gold Cyrillic letters. On the outer edge of the medallion is a ring of gold with a red enameled inner ring. On the top point of the platinum star is a ruby star surrounded by gold.

The 2nd class medal is awarded to corps, divisions, and brigade commanders for a decisive victory over a numerically superior enemy. The 2nd class medal is a 50mm solid gold star without the ruby star on the top point with a 25mm medallion that is the same as the 1st class award in the center of the star, but is made of silver.

The 3rd class medal is awarded to regiment commanders, their chief of staff, and batallion and company commanders for oustanding leadership leading to a battle victory. The 3rd class medal is the same as the 2nd class medal except that it is made entirely of silver and the inscription is red enameled. State motto (Russian): Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!
