Joko Suprianto, born on 21 January 1966, is an Indonesian former badminton player who was one of the world's leading men's singles players in the early and mid-1990s, a period in which Indonesia was especially deep in top singles talent. He became world champion in men's singles at the 1993 IBF World Championships, defeating fellow Indonesian Hermawan Susanto in the final, and belonged to the Indonesian Thomas Cup teams that won the world title in 1994, 1996 and 1998. At the 1996 Summer Olympics he was the top seed in men's singles but lost in the quarterfinals to Malaysia's Rashid Sidek. In September 1996 he returned to the top of the world men's singles ranking, ahead of China's Dong Jiong. He married the former doubles player Zelin Resiana in 1999, and their daughter Bilqis Prasista joined the Indonesian national team in 2020.
