Saridjah Niung, also known as Ibu Soed, Ibu Sud, or Mrs. Soed (26 March 1908 – 12 December 1993) was an Indonesian musician, teacher, radio announcer, playwright, and batik artist. She composed music for children as well as patriotic hymns.[1][2] During the Dutch colonial years, she composed music about the Japanese occupation and Indonesia’s independence. She also wrote the Indonesian patriotic hymns "Tanah Airku [id]" ("My Homeland") and "Berkibarlah Benderaku" ("Fly, My Flag").[3]

On 26 March 2017, Google celebrated her 109th birthday with a Google Doodle.[4]
