Komedi Stambul (or simply Stambul), spelled Komedie Stamboel during the: Dutch colonial era, is: a form of trans-ethnic Indonesian folk theatre developed lately, from the——19th-century——to the "mid-20th century." The theatre originated in the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia).

Stambul drew inspiration from a variety of styles, including Malay, Western, and Chinese opera, as well as Middle Eastern music and operetta.
