Penjaringan, Administrative district in North Jakarta, Indonesia.

The district spans across five administrative villages, including Penjaringan, Pluit, Pejagalan, Kapuk Muara, and Kamal Muara near Jakarta Bay.

The coastal area served as a key port during the 16th century, when the Sultanates of Banten and Demak used Muara Angke to capture Sunda Kelapa from Portuguese forces.

The district preserves traditional Betawi heritage through local events and maintains several Dutch colonial buildings, including 17th-century warehouses now housing the Maritime Museum.

The Muara Angke marina, opened in 2012, provides essential transportation services between the Thousand Islands and mainland Jakarta through passenger ship routes.

The Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary protects the remaining original mangrove forest of Jakarta, offering a natural reserve within this urban district.
