Madurese batik, or also known as Madura batik (/ˌmaedʒᵿˈriːzbaʈɪʔ/; Madurese: bâṭèk Maḍurâ; Javanese: ꦧꦛꦶꦏ꧀ꦩꦝꦸꦫ, romanized: baṭik Maḍura;) is a traditional cultural Madurese-style of batik, a Javan art and method of producing colored designs on textile. Native to the easternmost coastal region of the Indonesian island of Java and Madura. Madurese batik is one of the indigenous Eastern Java-origin batiks, a Javanese (mainly and originally) cultural textile-making tradition. It is well-known for its fusion (both earth tone and vibrant) colors and distinctive motifs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Madurese (incl. Pendalungan Madurese and Bawean Madurese) people in eastern part of Java, Madura, and Bawean.

On 2 October 2009, Batik (including Madurese batik) is internationally recognized by the United Nations through United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity from Indonesia. Since then, Batik Day annually celebrated nationally and internationally (predominantly by Indonesian diaspora) on 2 October to commemorate those global recognition.

Since 2013, as part of Indonesia's cultural heritage preservation efforts, the Government of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, has initiated the digitization and official inscription of Madurese batik as an element of the nation's intangible cultural heritage. The designation identifies Madura (and East Java in general) as the associated geographical indication, it is protected under national laws.
