Solihin Gautama Purwanegara (21 July 1926 – 5 March 2024) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who served as governor of West Java from 1970 to 1975. As a student, he joined the Indonesian Army during the national revolution. Following the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty in 1949, he served mostly within the Siliwangi Military Region before joining the Hasanuddin Military Region and later becoming its commander. He was appointed West Java's governor in 1970, but due to disagreements on policy with the central government he served only a single term. He remained active in politics after his governorship, serving as advisor to President Suharto until 1993. He also briefly joined PDI-P after Suharto's downfall, and was involved in the presidential campaigns of Joko Widodo in 2014 and 2019 along with Ganjar Pranowo in 2024.
