After years of disappointment at major tournaments, the Three Lions ripped up the script in Russia to reach the final four and match the country’s best ever performance on foreign soil.
Watford-born Southgate was key to England’s surprise run to the semi-finals.
He said: “I’m an incredibly proud Englishman so having had the opportunity to have represented my country as a player more than 50 times and then to manage the team at a World Cup has been an absolute privilege.
“I hope that everybody that has supported me throughout my career feels pride in the fact that I’ve received this honour because I wouldn’t be in this position without that help and guidance.”
England striker Harry Kane received an MBE, having skippered England in Russia and won the Golden Boot after finishing top scorer at the World Cup.
