The Indonesian National Dictionary (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia - lit. Larger Dictionary of Indonesian) is the official dictionary of the Indonesian language. Produced by the language centre of the Indonesian Department of Education, it is considered canonical as a measure of which words have been formally incorporated into Indonesian.

The dictionary was first published in 1988, and launched at the Congress on Bahasa Indonesia. The current, fourth edition was released in 2008 and contains 90,000 entries. Continual work is done towards future versions, to ensure the dictionary remains relevant to changes in the Indonesian language. An online version is found at the official site.
