'''East Java''' ({{langx|id|Jawa Timur}}, {{langx|jv|ꦙꦮꦶꦮꦺꦠꦤ꧀|Jawi Wétan}}, {{langx|mad|Jhâbâ Tèmor}}) is a [[Provinces of Indonesia|province]] of [[Indonesia]] located in the easternmost third of [[Java]] island. It has a land border only with the province of [[Central Java]] to the west; the [[Java Sea]] and the [[Indian Ocean]] border its northern and southern coasts, respectively, while the narrow [[Bali Strait]] to the east separates Java from [[Bali]] by around {{convert|2.29|km|mi}}. Located in eastern [[Java (island)|Java]], the province also includes the island of [[Madura Island|Madura]] (which is connected to Java by the longest bridge in Indonesia, the [[Suramadu Bridge]]), as well as the [[Kangean Islands|Kangean islands]] and other smaller island groups located further east (in the northern [[Bali Sea]]) and the [[Masalembu Islands|Masalembu]] archipelago to the north. Its capital is [[Surabaya]], the [[Largest cities in Indonesia|second largest city in Indonesia]], a major industrial center and also a major business center. [[Banyuwangi]] is the largest regency in East Java and the largest on the island of Java.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://jatim.bps.go.id/dynamictable/2017/08/28/46/luas-wilayah-menurut-kabupaten-kota-di-provinsi-jawa-timur-2016.html |title=BPS Provinsi Jawa Timur |website=jatim.bps.go.id |language=en |access-date=2018-09-18 |archive-date=9 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220409021013/https://jatim.bps.go.id/dynamictable/2017/08/28/46/luas-wilayah-menurut-kabupaten-kota-di-provinsi-jawa-timur-2016.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The province covers a land area of {{convert|48036.84|km2}}, and according to the [[2010 Indonesian census|2010 Census]], there were 37,476,757 people residing there,<ref name="Biro Pusat Statistik 2011">Biro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011.</ref> making it [[Indonesia]]'s second-most-populous province; the [[2020 Indonesian census|2020 Census]] showed an increase to 40,665,696 people,<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2021">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021.</ref> while the official estimate for mid 2024 was 41,914,499 (comprising 20,848,660 males and 20,965,880 females).<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2025">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 28 February 2025, ''Provinsi Jawa Timur Dalam Angka 2025'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.35)</ref> Almost a quarter of the population lives inside the [[Greater Surabaya]] metropolitan area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ArcGIS Web Application |url=https://gis.dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id/peta/ |access-date=2022-08-11 |website=gis.dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id |archive-date=5 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705211227/http://gis.dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id/peta/ |url-status=live }}</ref> East Java is inhabited by many different ethnic groups, such as the [[Javanese people|Javanese]], [[Madurese people|Madurese]] and [[Chinese Indonesians|Chinese]]. Most of the people in East Java adhere to [[Islam]], forming around 94% of the total population. Other religions are also practiced, such as [[Christianity]], [[Buddhism]] and [[Confucianism]] which are mostly practised by [[Chinese Indonesians|Tionghoa]] people and immigrants from [[Eastern Indonesia]] and [[North Sumatra]], and also [[Hinduism]] which are practised by the [[Tenggerese people]] in the [[Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park]] and the [[Balinese people]] inhabiting the easternmost part of the province bordering [[Bali]] as well as the dominant minority [[Indian Indonesians]] in [[Surabaya]] city.

The [[Indonesian language]] is the official language of the province as well as the [[Indonesia|whole nation]], but [[Javanese language|Javanese]] and [[Madurese language|Madurese]] are most frequently used, especially the Surabaya dialect ([[Javanese language|Javanese]]: {{lang|jv|Suroboyoan}} or {{lang|id|Surabayaan}} — the Javanese dialect of [[Surabaya]]) used mainly in the capital [[Surabaya]]. [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] is only used for inter-ethnic communication and official purposes.

East Java offers different types of tourist attractions. There are a variety of natural attractions, including mountains, beaches, caves, and waterfalls. Almost every regency or city in East Java has its own unique tourist destinations, such as the [[Ijen]] volcano in [[Banyuwangi Regency|Banyuwangi]], [[Baluran National Park]] in [[Situbondo Regency|Situbondo]], and [[Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park]] in [[Malang Regency|Malang]], [[Pasuruan Regency|Pasuruan]], [[Lumajang Regency|Lumajang]], and [[Probolinggo Regency|Probolinggo]].
