The Order of the Black Eagle () was the highest title that could be bestowed on a citizen of the Principality of Albania. The order was established by Prince Wied in 1914 on the example of the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle. The order had a black eagle and around the words Besë e Bashkim ().

Since the Principality of Albania was short-lived, the order was awarded very few times, and is considered today very rare for collectors. It is also considered to be the first award ever given in modern Albania.
