Rahayu Saraswati Dhirakarya Djojohadikusumo (born 27 January 1986) is an Indonesian activist, politician, actress, and presenter. Educated at Purdue University and the University of Virginia, she is currently a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the Gerindra Party for the 2024–2029 term and was also a member from 2014 to 2019. During her time as a member of the legislature, she fought for women and children right and against human trafficking.

After failing to secure re-election in 2019, she was selected by her uncle Prabowo, then minister of defense, to serve alongside him as the deputy chairperson of the Gerindra Party for the period 2020 to 2025. She took part in the 2020 Indonesian local elections as a vice-mayoral candidate of PDI-P's Muhamad for South Tangerang, but they were defeated by Benjamin Davnie. She ran again in the 2024 election and won a second term in the House of Representatives representing Jakarta's 3rd district.

She was subject to misogynistic ridicule online after a photo surfaced of her showing pregnant belly which she had posted in 2015. After hearing about it from Tsamara Amany, she stated that it was confusing and saddening to see the photograph was used to attack her for political gain.
