Mr.
Raden Soeprapto (27 March 1894 – 2 December 1964) was the fourth Attorney General of Indonesia.
Born in Trenggalek, East Java, Soeprapto studied law in Jakarta, finding work in the legal system soon after graduating in 1920.
After transferring often, in the early 1940s he had reached Pekalongan and become the head of the court for Native Indonesians.
Escaping Pekalongan during Operatie Product with the help of a prisoner he had just sentenced, Soeprapto made his way to Yogyakarta and began to work as a prosecutor.
When the government moved to Jakarta in 1950, Soeprapto went with it.
In January 1951, he was selected to be Prosecutor General of Indonesia, serving until 1 April 1959. As prosecutor general, Soeprapto was noted for trying state ministers and generals despite them outranking him, a quality which Amir Hasan Ketaren of the Prosecutors' Commission finds lacking from subsequent officeholders.
He was declared "Father of the Prosecutor's Office" on 22 July 1967, with a bust of him erected outside the Prosecutor General's Office.
