The Russian Imperial Union Order (Rossiyskiy Imperskiy Soyuz Orden, Российский Имперский Союз-Орден, РИС-О) is a traditional Russian monarchist organization that was chartered in 1929 by white emigres living abroad. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the organization also gained chapters in the motherland.

The organization supports the claim of Maria Vladimirovna, Grand Duchess of Russia as the sole legitimate heir of the crown of Russia.

The RIUO is member of the International Monarchist Conference.
