The Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje (Serbian Cyrillic: Орден Светог Петра Цетињског) is a dynastic order of the Royal House of Petrović-Njegoš. As Montenegro is now a republic, the order is distributed as a private house order of the deposed family. The Order is bestowed upon prominent members of the Petrović-Njegoš family, as well as to others.
