Abraham Samad (born 27 November 1966) is an Indonesian lawyer and activist who was elected in December 2011 as chair of the country's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for 2011–2015.

[3] He and his five siblings were the children of an army captain and his wife Indriana Kartika,[4] an employee of the Department of Information; as of 2012[update], three of his siblings work for the state television station TVRI while his brother Imran is a district head in Rappocini, Makassar.

[7] Some anti-corruption activists expressed disappointment in the decision, stating that Abraham had been selected to please political parties rather than to combat graft.

[1] Choky Ramadhan, a member of the Indonesian Judicial Watch Society, suggested that some candidates may not have been chosen as the political parties feared further attention would be paid to money laundering cases involving the parties.

Tama Satrya Langkun, of the Indonesia Corruption Watch, noted that Abraham's career was sparse compared to that of the other candidates.
