Ida Bagus Oka (Balinese: ᬇᬤ​ᬩᬕᬸᬲ᭄​ᬑᬓ; 16 April 1936 – 7 March 2010)[1] was the 5th governor of Bali from 1988 to 1998. He was also a State Minister of Population/Chairman of Planned Families National Coordinating Body in the Development Reform Cabinet under president B.J. Habibie.

During the Indonesian killings of 1965–1966, he instigated the Balinese Hindus to hunt down PKI supporters. He told Hindus: "There can be no doubt [that] the enemies of our revolution are also the cruelest enemies of religion, and must be eliminated and destroyed down to the roots".[2] During this period, an estimated 80,000 Balinese were killed, roughly 5 percent of the island's population at the time.[3]
