The Wilopo Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Wilopo), also known as the Wilopo-Prawoto Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Wilopo-Prawoto), was an Indonesian cabinet that served from 3 April 1952 until 30 July 1953.
The Wilopo Cabinet's proposals to reorganize the army to conserve budgets were unpopular with the army. The Army's high command came into dispute with the parliament in what it saw as excessive civilian meddling within military affairs. After a dismissal of a pro-government officer in July 1952, the parliament began demanding a significant restructuring of armed forces leadership, and after three months tensions culminated in thousands of demonstrators mobilized by the army in Jakarta. President Sukarno managed to temper the demonstrators and assure the army officers, but refused to concede to any demands. Soon after the incident, a significant proportion of the army's high command was replaced.
On 16 March 1953, a clash between peasant squatters and the police occurred in Tanjung Morawa, North Sumatra. The incident, known as the Tanjung Morawa affair, resulted in the downfall of the cabinet.
