Raden Samadikoen (EYD: Samadikun; 8 March 1902 – 1971) was an Indonesian politician who served as the governor of East Java from 1949 to 1958. He also served as the resident of Madiun before he was appointed governor. He previously worked in the colonial service.
Samadikoen was born on 8 March 1902 in Jombang in what is present-day East Java, Indonesia.[1] The area was then a part of the Surabaya Residency, Dutch East Indies.[2] His father, Kusumowisastro, was a retired controleur in Jombang. He received an education at the Hollandsch-Inlandsche School in Jombang, and later at a Opleiding School Voor Inlandsche Ambtenaren in Blitar. He continued his studies at the Bestuurschool in Batavia (now Jakarta).[1]
After graduating, Samadikoen joined the colonial civil service, being assigned to Lamongan. He would go on to serve in various positions, including as a district head in Surabaya, the secretary to the regent of Magetan, the assistant district head of Dolopo, the district head of Ponorogo, and finally as a patih in Kediri.[3] He later became the resident of Madiun.[1]
