"Javanese Court Gamelan" is a recording of the gamelan of the Pura Paku Alaman court in Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia. It was recorded by ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown. It was issued on compact disc on April 17, 1991 with the original contents. It was remastered and reissued under the name "Java: Court Gamelan" in January 28, 2003 with a cover of a photograph of Borobudur.

The gamelan in the recording is an heirloom gamelan, made in 1755 for Paku Alam I. The sléndro half, named "Kyai Pengawé Sari" ("Sir Invitation to Beauty"), is heard on tracks 1 and 3, while the pélog half, named "Kyai Telaga Muntjar" ("Sir Lake and Fountain"), is heard on tracks 2 and 4.

The recording was made on January 10, 1971 in the reception hall of the Pura Paku Alaman, by permission of Paku Alam VIII, for a radio broadcast in honor of his birthday. The sounds of sparrows that make their nests in the hall and other ambient noises are considered normal.

The recording of Puspawarna was included on the Voyager Golden Record. The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording in the Grammy Awards of 1972.
