The Aliarcham Academy of Social Sciences (Indonesian: Akademi Ilmu Sosial "Aliarcham"), also known by its Indonesian initials AISA, was a short-lived university run by the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) from 1959 until 1965 in the Tebet district of South Jakarta. The academy taught a small cohort of dedicated party members; its research focused on Marxist social theories and applied research on social relations in the cities and countryside. It was closed by the government in October 1965 following the failed 30 September Movement and a wave of anti-communist repression.
