Ma'ruf Amin (born 11 March 1943) is an Indonesian politician, Islamic cleric, and lecturer who is the 13th and current vice president of Indonesia.[3] Aged nearly 77 years old when inaugurated, he is the oldest Indonesian vice president to ever be sworn in.

He was the chairman of the Ulema Council of Indonesia (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, or MUI) when he accepted the vice-presidential nomination.[4] On 9 August 2018, President Joko Widodo announced that Ma'ruf would be his running mate in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. Following his candidacy, he resigned as General Leader (rais 'aam syuriah) of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the world's largest Islamic organization.
