Ismet Iskandar (2 May 1948 – 15 October 2024) was an Indonesian politician who served as the regent of Tangerang Regency between 2003 and 2013.

[1] Iskandar was elected by Tangerang's municipal council as regent in 2003, with Norodom Soekarno as running mate.

Early on in his term, Iskandar opposed the carveout, citing that the region was not prepared to be an independent municipality and predicted that it could only occur in the 2010s.

[8] Additionally, in 2005, Iskandar approved plans for a land reclamation project in the Dadap neighborhood, resulting in the intervention by the environmental working group in the People's Representative Council,[9] and eventually the project was halted.

[10] Following the 2008 regency election, Iskandar secured his second term with artist Rano Karno now as his deputy.
