The Most Esteemed Family Order of Laila Utama[1] (Malay: Darjah Kerabat Laila Utama Yang Amat Dihormati) is the highest order of Brunei. It was established on 1 March 1954 by Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III.[2] The order carries the post-nominal letters "DK I" as well as the title "Dato Laila Utama".

Before 1975, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III painted bust was the centerpiece of the order's design. Then a star and crescent moon took the place of the bust. All of the emblems are made of gold or silver with enamel accents. The post-nominal letters "DK I" are associated with the order. The right to use the title "Dato Laila Utama" is included in the order.[3]
