Indonesian football clubs in Asian competitions

Indonesian football clubs have entered Asian association football competitions organized by Asian Football Confederation including AFC Champions League (now AFC Champions League Elite), Asian Cup Winners' Cup (now defunct), AFC Cup (now AFC Champions League Two), and AFC Challenge League. Indonesian football clubs have never participated in the competitions of Asian Super Cup, AFC President's Cup, Afro-Asian Club Championship, and AFC Women's Club Championship since 1970.

PSMS Medan is the first Indonesian club to participate in Asian football competitions, namely 1970 Asian Champion Club Tournament with the result of the fourth place after losing 1–0 to Homenetmen (Lebanon) in the match for third place.
