First Spouse of Indonesia

First Lady of Indonesia
Incumbent Iriana since October 20, 2014
Inaugural holder	Fatmawati
Formation	August 18, 1945

The First Lady and First Gentleman of Indonesia is the title attributed to the wife or husband of the President of Indonesia. Out of six presidents of Indonesia until 2013, one is female (Megawati Sukarnoputri), so the neutral word "spouse" is used. State convention of Indonesia gives the title Ibu Negara for the First Lady. Literally it means "mother of the country". No equivalent term is designated for the male counterpart ("first gentleman") so far.

This is a list of spouses of the president of Indonesia.

Living former spouses

As of October 20, 2014, there are two living former spouses:

• Sinta Nuriyah
• Kristiani Herawati

Notes

• Suharto's wife died on April 28, 1996, however her daughter, Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana (familiarly known as Tutut) served as her father's proxy in such matters as would have traditionally been dealt with by a First Lady.
