Joged dance () is a style of dance from the Island of Bali derived from the traditional Gandrung dance. The term joged or joget is also a common word for dance in Indonesia. The dance is typically accompanied by a gamelan ensemble of bamboo instruments, called a gamelan joged bumbung. Its dancers usually wear attire consisting of a Kebaya and Sarong. Unlike most Balinese dances, joged is not a religious or ritual one. It is more of a secular social dance for entertainment purposes only. In 2016 Governor Made Mangku Pastika attempted to ban the dance, calling it "pornographic". In August 2017, the Bali Provincial Government held a joged bumbung festival to attempt to improve the dance.
The dance is quite comparable with other Indonesian dance traditions, such as those of Javanese ronggeng and Sundanese jaipongan.
