Order, Law and Justice (Bulgarian: Ред, законност и справедливост, romanized: Red, zakonnost i spravedlivost, abbreviated as RZS) was a conservative political party in Bulgaria. Its main focus is on fighting crime and corruption.[2] It won the minimum ten seats in the National Assembly at the 2009 election, making it the smallest of the six parties in the legislature.[15] Later some of the deputies left the parliamentary group and it broke the minimum of ten, which inevitably made all parliamentary representatives of the party independent deputies.

It is led by Yane Yanev, who has frequently revealed classified documents backing up his claims of corruption.[16] The party is close to the British Conservative Party.[2]

The logo of Order, Law and Justice is a blue and orange checkerboard pattern.
