Arif Havas Oegroseno (born 12 March 1963) is an Indonesian diplomat who is currently serving as the vice foreign minister of Indonesia since 21 October 2024. Prior to his current position, Arif was posted as ambassador to Germany from 2018 and 2024 and as ambassador to Belgium and the European Union from 2010 to 2014.
Born and raised in Semarang, he graduated with a law degree from Diponegoro University in 1986 before joining the foreign ministry. After earning a Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1992 and passing the bar in Texas, his career brought him to Geneva and Lisbon, where he worked to restore bilateral relations with Portugal during the latter.
Throughout the 2000s, Oegroseno emerged as a key figure in Indonesia's territorial and maritime diplomacy, serving as director, and then director general responsible for matters pertaining to international law and treaties. He led technical negotiations over the Ambalat block dispute with Malaysia and helped secure landmark agreements. He was then appointed as ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union in 2010, where he utilized "Tintin diplomacy" to promote tourism, before returning to Jakarta in 2015 to serve as deputy for maritime sovereignty. In 2018, he was appointed ambassador to Germany, a post he held until his appointment as vice foreign minister in 2024.
