Mohammad Sadli (10 June 1922 – 8 January 2008) was a leading Indonesian policymaker and economist.

Sadli, as he was widely known, was born in Sumedang, West Java. He first studied in the Hollandsch-Inlandsche School (HIS) in Sumedang and Subang and later moved to the Hogere Burger School (HBS) in Semarang in Central Java. He then (1952) took university studies at the Technical Faculty, Gadjah Mada University, in Yogyakarta.[1]

Between 1954 and 1956, Sadli worked towards his Master of Science in economics at MIT in the United States before proceeding to post-graduate studies in economics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1956. He returned to Indonesia in 1957 where he became Director of the Economics and Management Institute (LPEM) at the University of Indonesia.
