Joglosemarkerto is a regional passenger rail service in Indonesia operated by Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI). It serves a loop route connecting major cities in Central Java and Yogyakarta, including Solo Balapan, Semarang Tawang, Purwokerto, and the CilacapYogyakarta corridor. On route maps, Joglosemarkerto services are shown in bright yellow ( ).

The service was introduced on 1 December 2018 through the merger of two existing trains, the Kamandaka and the Joglokerto Express, in order to streamline operations and improve passenger occupancy on the Yogyakarta–Semarang corridor without requiring transfers in Purwokerto or Solo Balapan.

The name "Joglosemarkerto" is a portmanteau of the names of the main cities and regencies along its route: Jogja, Solo, Semarang, and Purwokerto.
