The Chief Rabbinate of Hindia Belanda (Indonesian: Kerrabian Agung Hindia Belanda; Dutch: Opperrabbinaat van Nederlands Indië; Hebrew: הרבנות הראשית של איי הודו המזרחיים ההולנדים) is the supreme rabbinic authority of Orthodox Judaism in the Commonwealth of Hindia Belanda. The Chief Rabbinate is only recognised by 5% of the total Jewish population, as most Jews in Hindia Belanda belong to Reform Judaism.
