Solihin Gautama Purwanegara (21 July 1926 – 5 March 2024) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who served as governor of West Java from 1970 to 1975.

Solihin Gautama Purwanegara was born on 21 July 1926, in Tasikmalaya, Preanger Regencies Residency, Dutch East Indies (now West Java, Indonesia).

He then moved to the Hasanuddin Military Region in South Sulawesi, taking part in operations against Abdul Kahar Muzakkar's Darul Islam branch.

Solihin noted that he took offense to this, and thus focused his attention on said regions – particularly Tangerang, Bekasi and Puncak being developed for the textile, cement, and tourist industries, respectively.

[9] During a time of poor rice harvests in Indramayu Regency, Solihin led an effort to introduce a new planting method which reduced water requirements by farmers.

[13] Due to disagreements on these policies with Minister of Home Affairs Amir Machmud, Solihin did not continue for a second term in office, and his governorship expired on 14 February 1975.

[14] After his gubernatorial career, Solihin briefly retired into a rural agricultural estate,[15] until he was appointed Presidential Secretary for Development Operations Control in 1977.

[18] As a MPR member, he also opposed the formation of a special commission to audit the personal wealth of government officials, claiming that the body would be ineffective and a waste of funds.

[20][21] Solihin continued to receive visits from high-profile politicians after his retirement, including Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Joko Widodo prior to their presidential campaigns in 2004 and 2014.
