The Wali Negara of Pasundan (literally 'State Guardian', Indonesian: Wali Negara Pasundan) was the head of state and highest political office in the short-lived State of Pasundan, which existed as a Dutch-backed federal parliamentary republic from 1948 until the state's dissolution in 1950. According to the Regulations of the Constitutional Organization of Pasundan, the Wali Negara had the authority to dissolve the Parliament, appoint and discharge the Prime Minister, enact decrees, and submit law drafts and the state budget to the Parliament. If the Wali Negara died or resigned prior to the end of the term, the Speaker of the Parliament, who also acted as the Deputy Wali Negara, would have replaced him/her.
