caption2=The Air Force Recognition Ribbon is a decoration of the United States Air Force which was first created in October of 1980. The decoration is intended to recognize those who have received "non-portable" awards for accomplishment and excellence while serving on active duty in the United States Air Force.

To be awarded the Air Force Recognition Ribbon, a service member must receive a designated trophy, plaque, or other award (such as the Sijan Leadership Award) through an achievement as specified by Air Force regulations. The ribbon is thus intended to recognize awards which cannot otherwise be displayed on a military uniform; as such, this award is typically presented in combination with an Air Force level annual award.

Additional awards of the Air Force Recognition Ribbon are denoted by oak leaf clusters.
