Air Vice-Marshal Prof. Dr. Abdulrahman Saleh (1 July 1909 Batavia – 29 July 1947, Maguwoharjo, Yogyakarta) is a National Hero of Indonesia.
He was an Indonesian aviator whose plane was shot down by the Dutch when landing in Maguwo Airfield (now Adisucipto International Airport), Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta during the Indonesian National Revolution.
He is also the father of Indonesian medical physiology, and one of the founders of Radio Republik Indonesia.
He was buried at Pekuncen Hero Cemetery in Yogyakarta.
In 2000, by Indonesian Air Force initiative and family approval, his grave was relocated to Ngoto, near the crash site. The new grave is part of the Indonesian Air Force's Monumen Perjuangan Ngoto, together with the graves of Mrs. Ismudiati Abdulrahman Saleh, Agustinus Adisucipti, and Mrs. Adisucipto.
To honor his service the Indonesian government has named the Abdulrahman Saleh Airport in Malang, East Java after him.
