The "Himno Nacional de Uruguay" (English: "National Anthem of Uruguay"), also known by its incipit "Orientales, la Patria o la Tumba" (English: "Easterners, the Country or the Tomb"), is the longest national anthem, though an abridged version is performed on most occasions.

Its lyrics are by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa, who was also author of the lyrics to Paraguay's national anthem. The song was officially declared the national anthem in 1848.
