The '''Order of the Disa''' is a provincial-level order issued by the Department of the Premier of Western Cape Province in South Africa. It was created by the Provincial Honours Act 9 of 1999, and is enshrined in Section 6 (1) of the Western Cape Provincial Constitution. It is awarded in the following three levels: * ''Commander'': for rendering excellent meritorious service * ''Officer'': for rendering outstanding meritorious service * ''Member'': for rendering noteworthy meritorious service.
It was first awarded in 2003 by then-premier Marthinus van Schalkwyk at Castle of Good Hope, and has been awarded intermittently ever since.
