Ahmed Kemal Idris (10 February 1923 – 28 July 2010) was a prominent Indonesian Army general during the 1950s and 1960s.

Idris participated in the 17 October 1952 affair in which a group of Indonesian Army officers staged a failed coup attempt that would have forced the dissolution of the People's Representative Council (DPR, the parliament) and put President Sukarno as the supreme leader of Indonesia.

[1] In 1965–1966, Idris was chief of staff of the Strategic Reserve Command (KOSTRAD) and had an important role in the overthrow of Sukarno and the rise of General Suharto to power.

He was part of a group of senior Indonesian retired generals and politicians to signed a petition highlighting their concerns against Suharto's increasing authoritarian rule.

[1] As a result of his involvement with Petisi 50, Idris and his colleagues were sidelined and isolated by the Suharto government.
