The transfer of sovereignty over Indonesia (Dutch: Soevereiniteitsoverdracht Indonesië, Indonesian: Penjerahan Kedaulatan Indonesia) was the final process in the Dutch decolonization of the East Indies, ending the hostilities between the Netherlands and Indonesia as well as implementing the agreements made at the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference. An agreement was signed at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam on 27 December 1949 between the Dutch and Indonesian parties, as a result, the United States of Indonesia and the Netherlands-Indonesia Union was established.

Although the Republic of Indonesia was unified with the Negaras that the Dutch had established prior to the Round table confrence, the United States of Indonesia's territory did not comprise all of the former Dutch East Indies, the region of Western New Guinea was separated by the Netherlands and was made a separate colony of New Guinea, this separation would cause a long-term territorial dispute between Indonesia and the Netherlands until 1963, where Indonesia was able to regain back it's territory in Papua after a handover by the UN.
