Garuda di Dadaku (lit.'Garuda in My Heart') is a 2009 Indonesian sports drama film directed by Ifa Isfansyah. It tells about a young boy who dreams of playing for Indonesia national under-13 football team despite his grandfather's wish for him to be an artist.

The film, Ifa's feature-length debut, was produced over six months and featured music by actress and musician, Titi Sjuman and her husband Wong Aksan, as well as a theme song by rock band Netral. Released during the school holidays, the film was viewed by more than 1.2 million people. Despite mixed critical reception, Garuda di Dadaku was nominated for three Citra Awards at the 2009 Indonesian Film Festival, where it received a special jury prize for Best Children's Film.

A sequel, Garuda di Dadaku 2, was released in 2011. Directed by Rudy Soedjarwo, it follows a grown-up Bayu serving as captain of the national youth team and deals with personal issues.
