The Order of the Yugoslav Crown was instituted by King Alexander I of Yugoslavia on 5 April 1930, to commemorate his changing of the name of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[1]

It continues as a dynastic order, with appointments currently made by Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia.
