Soedardjat Nataatmadja (PSS: Sudarjat Nataatmaja, 30 June 1938 – 6 December 2020) was an Indonesian politician who served as the Regent of Bogor from 1983 until 1988, the Vice Governor of Irian Jaya from 1989 until 1993, Inspector General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from 1993 until 1997, and as the member of the People's Representative Council from 1997 until 1999.

Born into the Sundanese nobility, Soedardjat enrolled at the Padjadjaran University in 1958, though he dropped out two years later in favor of the National Military Academy. He began his service in the military in 1963 with the rank of first lieutenant. From 1963 until 1983, he was assigned various military posts, starting from East Kalimantan, Jakarta, and West Java.

In 1983, he was elected as the Regent of Bogor. One of his hallmarks during his term as regent was Operation Government Dignity, which was aimed at countering the growth of illegal constructions and expansions. Although he was elected to a second term, his re-election was not approved by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and he was transferred to Irian Jaya in 1989 and served as a Vice Governor for four years.

Nataatmadja returned to Jakarta in 1993, along with his appointment as the Inspector General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As the inspector general, he introduced several reforms concerning regional government inspection and led a team to investigate the Sri Roso Sudarmo scandal. He ended his term in 1997 after he was elected as a member of the People's Representative Council.
