Tjokorda Gdé Raka Soekawati (EYD: Cokorda Gdé Raka Sukawati; Balinese: ᬘᭀᬓᭀᬃᬤᬕ᭄ᬤᬾᬭᬓᬲᬸᬓᬯᬢᬶ; 15 January 1899 – 1967) was a Balinese nobleman and politician who served as the first and only president of the State of East Indonesia from 1946 until its dissolution in 1950. His title, Tjokorda Gdé, signaled that Soekawati belonged to the highest ksatria (one of the four noble castes in Bali).
He had two wives, the first a Balinese, Gusti Agung Niang Putu, who gave him a son named Tjokorda Ngurah Wim Sukawati. In 1933, he married a French woman named Gilbert Vincent, who gave him two children.
His royal house is Sukawati.
