'''Ukaz''' (plural Ukazy) (Russian: указ, указы) in Imperial Russia was a proclamation, edict, or ordinance of the tsar, government, or a religious leader, such as the [[patriarch]] of the Orthodox [[Church of Russia]], that had the force of law. Popularly, Ukaz became a term for any official decree, and is generally translated as “decree”.

The term Ukaz, or Ukase, came from the word Ukazat which is a shortened form of the word ukazlivat, which has the meaning of ‘to show’, announce, or prescribe.

In recent history, Ukaz No. 362 of [[November 20]], 1920 is notable as the attempt by Patr. [[Tikhon of Moscow]] to provide guidance for governance of the Church of Russia as the Bolsheviks assumed power in Russia after the October 1917 Revolution.
