Kampung Jawa is a kelurahan (urban village) of North Tondano district, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was founded in the 19th century by Javanese exiles from the Java War, before growing in the subsequent decades through the influx of further exiles and migration of the local Minahasan population. It has since become a majority Muslim settlement within the mostly Christian region of Minahasa, retaining some Javanese identity as "Tondano Javanese" while being mostly Minahasan culturally. As of 2023, Kampung Jawa had a population of 2,692 people.
