Pasar Baru is an subdistrict (kelurahan) in the Sawah Besar district (kecamatan) in Central Jakarta, Indonesia.

The southern edge of the street is marked with a gate and a bridge that span over a canal that connects to Jalan Raya Pos, a section of Java's Great Post Road that runs through Jakarta.

Pasar Baru is popularly known as Jakarta's Little India, due to the fact that large numbers of Indian Indonesians settled here (but mostly of Sikh and Sindhi ancestry in contrast to Medan's Kampung Madras, whereby Tamils are the majority regardless of religion), and established their textile business in this market.

The boundary of kelurahan Pasar Baru is Jalan Lautze to the north, the East Flood canal to the east, Jalan Taman Pejambon I - Abdul Rahman Saleh - Senen Raya IV to the south, and the Ciliwung - railway line to the west.

Another considerable minority centered in Pasar Baru is what the Dutch called andere vreemde oosterlingen ("other foreign Orientals"): Bombay people of the British Indians, mostly from Calcutta and Mumbai.

[6] Several Indonesia's largest department store chain trace it roots back to Pasar Baru, e.g. Matahari department store, Indonesia's largest department store chain which started when the founder Hari Darmawan bought a 1920s building at Jalan Pasar Baru 52-58 called Toko de Zon ("sun shop") and rename it Matahari (Indonesian "sun").

[6] Pasar Baru includes three different areas of Jalan Pintu Air Raya, Metro Atom Plaza and Harco Plaza Pasar Baru, allowing visitors to find almost everything under the sun, such as clothes, footwear, musical instruments, beauty products, watches, cameras and more.

It is also well-known as the notaphilic and numismatic center of Jakarta with stores in Harco Pasar Baru selling banknotes foreign and domestic as well as collectable coins.
