Teuku Jusuf Muda Dalam (10 December 1914 – 26 August 1976) was an Indonesian journalist and politician who served as the Governor of Bank Indonesia, Indonesia's central bank, from 1963 to 1966.

Originating from Aceh, he studied in the Netherlands where he developed communist ties, became active in journalism, and took part in the Dutch resistance. After returning to Indonesia, he for a time was a member of the Indonesian Communist Party, until he moved to the Indonesian National Party in 1954. He led the party newspaper Suluh Indonesia and became leader of Bank Negara Indonesia, before being appointed BI governor in 1963. After Sukarno's fall, he was removed from power in 1966, sentenced to death on corruption charges, and died as a prisoner.
