Nyai Roro Kidul, också kallad Nyi Roro Kidul, var en javanesisk havsgudinna, känd som "drottning av Javas Södra Hav" (Indiska oceanen).[1] Hon skildras i javansiska legender som den mytologiska anmodern till olika dynastier på Java, så som sultanerna av Mataram och Yogyakarta. Ursprungligen tros hon ha varit havets gudinna och drottning i den ursprungliga lokala religionen på Java, innan hinduismen kom till ön under det första århundradet. Hon avbildas vanligen som en sjöjungfru.
