We present a high order parameter-robust finite difference method for a linear system of ($M\geq2$) coupled singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion two point boundary value problems. The problem is discretized using a suitable combination of the fourth order compact difference scheme and the central difference scheme on a generalized Shishkin mesh. A high order decomposition of the exact solution into its regular and singular parts is constructed. The error analysis is given and the method is proved to have almost fourth order parameter robust convergence, in the maximum norm. Numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the theoretical results.
