The Darjah Yang Amat Mulia Bintang Kenyalang Sarawak (Order of the Star of the Hornbill of Sarawak) is the second highest order group (in the group of orders) of the orders, decorations, and medals of Sarawak. The order was instituted in 1970, and was redesigned in 1988. Two more ranks were added to the order: the 'Officer' in 1988 and the 'Companion' in 2002.

The order is divided into six classes:
