The Order of Saint John, formally the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem is an international order of chivalry which is headquartered in the United Kingdom.
The Order founded the St John Ambulance associations and oversees their work.
They also own the rights to the St John name and brand, including the Maltese Cross logo.
The Order also oversee the St John Eye Hospital Group, which is separate to the ambulance associations.
Most members of St John Ambulance are not themselves members of the Order, and vice versa, so a major presence of the Order does not dictate a major presence of St John Ambulance.
