"Indonesia Pusaka" () is a patriotic song composed by Ismail Marzuki. It is usually performed on Indonesian Independence Day celebrations, in university graduation ceremonies, and as a closing broadcast in several television stations at midnight. This song reflects about Indonesia, how Indonesia is the motherland of all Indonesians, and how Indonesians will fight for her with all of their might. This song is the favorite patriotic song of Mohammad Hatta, one of the founding fathers of Indonesia.
