Kediri (Javanese: ꦏꦸꦛꦏꦝꦶꦫꦶ, Kutha Kadhiri, Javanese pronunciation: [ku.ʈa kə.d̪i.ri]) is a city, located near the Brantas River in the province of East Java on the island of Java in Indonesia. It covers an area of 67.23 km and had a population of 268,950 at the 2010 Census and 286,796 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 301,424 (comprising 149,683 males and 151,741 females). It is one of two 'Daerah Tingkat II' that have the name 'Kediri' (the other is the Regency of Kediri, which surrounds the city). The city is administratively separated from the Regency, of which it was formerly the capital.
Archaeological artefacts discovered in 2007 appeared to indicate that the region around Kediri may have been the location of the Kediri Kingdom, a Hindu kingdom in the 11th century.
