Sandiwara (Indonesian word for: "drama") is a genre of traditional theatrical drama of Indonesia. In general, it refer to any kinds of drama or theatrical performances, and literary it means "to pretend" or "to act". However, the term sandiwara is often specifically used to refer a genre of traditional drama of West Java. A more specific type of sandiwara which is performed in Sundanese and presenting Sundanese themes, folklores and stories, is called Sandiwara Sunda. It is quite similar to Javanese Ketoprak or Wayang orang.

The play is presented in Sundanese, Indonesian or Cirebon dialect. The local sandiwara troupes can be found in the town of Indramayu, West Java, where it is quite a popular traditional form of entertainment. One of the notable sandiwara troupe is Miss Tjitjih that was established in Dutch East Indies in 1928.

Unlike the European-influenced toneel that often adapting Western themes and adaptation of foreign plays, sandiwara mostly derived from local sources; including folklores such as "Sangkuriang", epic kingdom stories such as "King Siliwangi of Pajajaran", to popular local horror stories and urban legends such as "Si Manis Jembatan Ancol".

Today, this traditional drama has become less and less popular. Many sandiwara troupes are struggling to survive, including the once famous Sandiwara Miss Tjijih.
