Jakarta School of Theological Philosophy or Jakarta Theological Seminary (Indonesian: Sekolah Tinggi Filsafat Theologi Jakarta), abbreviated as STFT Jakarta, is the oldest Christian theological college and university in Indonesia. It was founded in 1934 as Hoogere Theologische School (HTS) in Bogor (Buitenzorg).

This school was founded to answer the vision put forward by H. Kraemer in the late 1920s, as an effort to prepare pastors and priests in Indonesia. According to Kraemer, there must be a new orientation in theological education. Indonesians should not be educated to only become assistants or helpers to Dutch pastors or missionaries.
