African Indonesians refers to Indonesians of full or partial Bantu African ancestry. They may have been born in or immigrated to Indonesia. The first wave of immigration was in the 19th century, between 1830 and 1872.

One of the last Belanda Hitam settlement in Indonesia was in Kampung Afrikan (African Village), Pangenjurutengah, Purworejo District, Purworejo Regency. Most chose Dutch citizenship after Indonesian independence; even so, one Belanda Hitam family, descendant of a soldier called De Ruiter, used to live there whose descendant, called Eveline, married Djarno, a local Purworejo, and had three children, who later moved out. However, Eveline died in 2002, while Djarno died in 2007.
