Javindo, also known by the pejorative name Krontjong, was a Dutch-based creole language spoken on Java, Indonesia. The name Javindo is a portmanteau of "Java" and "Indo", the Dutch word for a person of mixed Indonesian and Dutch descent.

It should not be confused with Petjo, a different Dutch- and Malay-based creole also spoken in Indonesia.
