Order of José Martí
Order of Cienfuegos The honorary title Hero of the Republic of Cuba () is the highest decoration awarded by the Republic of Cuba. It is equivalent to other hero titles common in the Socialist Bloc. The decoration is physically represented with the Gold Star Medal (), hanging in a gold plaque enamelled with the colors of the national flag.

It was established by the Decree-Law Number 30 of 10 December 1979, and it is "awarded to Cuban and foreign citizens in recognition of extraordinary merits achieved in productive labour or in struggles for conquests and in defense of the achievements and interests of the working class, as well as for consistent practice and valuable contributions to proletarian internationalism."
