Sri Maharaja Rakai Pangkaja Dyah Wawa Sri Wijayalokanamottungga, better known in Indonesia as Dyah Wawa, was a ruler of the Mataram Kingdom in Central Java,[1]: 127–128  Indonesia (r. 924—929). What is known of him is mainly thanks to an inscription engraved on the Minto Stone.

Wawa's son-in-law and successor, Mpu Sindok (r. 929—947), moved the court of Mataram from Central Java to East Java in 929. The latter could have buried the former at Belahan Temple near Pasuruan in East Java.
