The Cultural Manifesto (), often abbreviated to Manikebu () by its detractors, was a document signed on 17 August 1963 by various Indonesian artists, intellectuals, and writers. The manifesto supported the values of "universal humanism" and rejected the social realism pushed by left-wing members of the Institute of People's Culture (Lekra). It was banned by President Sukarno in May 1964.
