Inanwatan is a district in Southwest Papua, Indonesia.

The district is located on the southern coast of the Bird's Head Peninsula.

[1] The area was named by the colonists from Patipi Bay, Fakfak, who were impressed by the extent of the sago swamps here.

The word inanwatan originates in a Patipi-language expression meaning "it is all sago" (from inan 'sago' and sewatan 'one').
