Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia to the Holy See (Indonesian : Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia untuk Takhta Suci) [1] is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the Holy See, the universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the Catholic Church and the sovereign city-state of Vatican City. [2] The embassy is located outside the Vatican City territory in the Italian capital of Rome.

Before Indonesia's independence, the Holy See sent an Apostolic Delegation to the Dutch East Indies in 1947. After Holy See recognized Indonesia's sovereignty in 16 March 1950, Indonesia established diplomatic relations with the Holy See on 25 May 1950. Indonesia's inaugural ambassador was Sukarjo Wiryopranoto whom took office from 1950 until 1952.
Since independence, Indonesian foreign relations have adhered to a "free and active" foreign policy, seeking to play a role in regional affairs commensurate with its size and location but avoiding involvement in conflicts among major powers. During the presidency of Sukarno, Indonesia's foreign relations were marked by engagement with other newly independent nations in Asia and Africa, as exemplified by the Bandung Conference, the subsequent foundation of the Non-Aligned Movement and a confrontational attitude towards Western powers, justified by a belief in the CONEFO and opposition to what Sukarno termed as NEKOLIM.
Holy See–Italy relations are the special relations between the Holy See, which is sovereign over the Vatican City, and the Italian Republic.
The Holy See has long been recognised as a subject of international law and as an active participant in international relations. It is distinct from the city-state of the Vatican City, over which the Holy See has "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction".
Holy See–Ireland relations are foreign relations between the Holy See and Ireland. The majority of Irish people identify as Roman Catholic, according to census data. However, views on actual church dogma both on social and spiritual matters varies significantly, and weekly mass attendance is below 40%. The Holy See has an Apostolic Nunciature in Dublin.
The Holy See and Indonesia established diplomatic relations on 13 March 1950. Relations are important as part of global interfaith dialogue, because Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim-majority population. Indonesia recognizes Roman Catholicism as one of its six approved religions. The Holy See has a nunciature in Jakarta, while Indonesia has an embassy in Rome.
