The Staten-Generaal is the bicameral legislative body of the Commonwealth of Hindia Belanda, consisting of the Dewan Bangsawan (upper house) and the Dewan Deputi (lower house). As a parliamentary democracy, Hindia Belanda follows the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty which dictates that the Staten-Generaal holds absolute supremacy over all political bodies within the Commonwealth. The parliament meets at the Palace of the Staten-Generaal in Groot Rijstveld, Jakarta.

The Staten-Generaal of Hindia Belanda is the direct successor of the Volksraad and the Raad van Nederlands Indië, after the two were dissolved in 1929 when the colony achieved independence and the Commonwealth in its current form was first established.
