The Order in Council of 21 November, 1855, was a piece of British legislation concerning promotion in the Naval Service.

Order in Council

WHEREAS we would most humbly represent to Your Majesty that we are of opinion, that it would tend to the advantage of Your Majesty's Naval Service, were we empowered to confer such steps or steps of temporary or local rank as we may deem fit on Officers in Your Majesty's Naval Service, notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Your Majesty's Order in Council of the 25th of June 1851; we would therefore most humbly propose, that Your Majesty be graciously pleased to extend to us such power, anything in Your Majesty's said Order in Council notwithstanding; and we would further suggest, that any Officer, while holding such temporary or local rank, shall, subject to such regulations as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for the time being may be pleased to adopt, enjoy the same authority, precedence, emoluments, profits, and advantages, in all respects, as if he held such by the ordinary course of promotion in Your Majesty's Navy.
