Harifin Tumpa was the twelfth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Indonesia as well as the first Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Indonesia for non-judicial affairs.

Tumpa's retirement led to a measure of controversy surrounding the Supreme Court of Indonesia, as rumors of vote buying by his more junior colleagues abounded before he'd even officially retired.[1]
