Akil Mochtar (born 18 October 1960) is a convicted former-Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia that was indicted for his acceptance of bribery for an election dispute case, prompting President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who appointed him, to sign legislation creating a permanent ethics body to supervise the Constitutional Court of Indonesia.

Akil, a former politician from the Golkar party, had been a justice of the Constitutional Court since 2008 and has a reportedly conservative approach in legal matters.

[6] In the subsequent legal process, numerous instances of allegedly corrupt payments that Akil had received as a justice were presented by prosecutors.
