Batara Kresna Railbus (Indonesian: Bus rel Batara Kresna,Javanese: Batara Kresna Hanacaraka:ꦧꦠꦫꦏ꧀ꦫꦼꦱ꧀ꦤ) is a railbus service in Central Java, Indonesia that operates between Purwosari Station in Surakarta and Wonogiri Station in Wonogiri Regency. It is operated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) and is a cooperation project between the Surakarta city government and PT KAI, when the city was led by Joko Widodo. The service is the one of a few railbus service in Indonesia besides Lembah Anai railbus in West Sumatra and former Kertalaya railbus in South Sumatra.

The railbus took its name from a character in Mahabharata, Krishna or Kresna who is tasked with saving the world and upholding the truth after the war in Kurukshetra.
