Sumanto (born 3 March 1972) is an Indonesian man who gained notoriety among the Indonesian public for his infamous cannibalistic acts where he consumed three corpses from different locations, namely Lampung and Purbalingga. After a police investigation into the disappearance of an 81-year-old woman's corpse just hours after her burial, his cannibalism came to light and Sumanto was arrested on 13 January 2003, being charged with aggravated theft under Article 363 of the criminal code and sentenced to five years in prison on 27 June 2003. On 24 October 2006, Sumanto was released early due to reported good behavior according to prison authorities. He was then taken in by the An-Nur rehabilitation center in Bungkanel, Karanganyar, Purbalingga, as neither his family nor his village wanted to accept him back. In 2025, Sumanto played as cameo in a 2025 Indonesian horror film, Labinak: Mereka ada di Sini.
