Samsi Sastrawidagda (13 March 1894 – 1963) was an Indonesian politician who was the first Minister of Finance of Indonesia, serving for just under one month in September 1945.

[3] After returning to Indonesia, Samsi was one of the founders of the Indonesian National Party (PNI) on 4 July 1927, along with Sukarno, Sartono, and Iskaq Tjokrohadisurjo among others.

[4] During this period, Samsi worked in Bandung, where he leased the veranda of Sukarno's home for use as his accountant's office.

One such source was a bank in Surabaya, and obtaining it was made possible due to Samsi's close connections with Japanese military officers.

The act raised money for both the central republican government and for the local militia units in Surabaya.
