Parjoko Suryokusumo (5 January 1939 – 21 October 1994) was an Indonesian military officer who also served as the Governor of West Kalimantan between 1988 and 1993. Suryokusumo was born in Purwokerto, today in Central Java province.[1] During his military career, he served as head of the cavalry center in Bandung, and then as chief of staff before becoming commander of the Tanjungpura Military District in Kalimantan.[2] When he held the rank of brigadier general, he appointed as governor of West Kalimantan and was sworn in on 8 January 1988.[1] During his tenure, he allocated funding to renovate and improve the Equator Monument, in addition to creating a duplicate to be placed in a more accessible location.[3]

He had two sons and a daughter when he was sworn in as governor.[4] Suryokusumo received local support for a second term, but he refused to extend his governorship.[5] His tenure ended on 12 January 1993, when he was replaced by Aspar Aswin. By that time, he had been promoted to major general.[6] He died at Pertamina Central Hospital in Jakarta on 21 October 1994 due to an illness.[5]
