Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto (26 January 1961 – 17 October 2020) was an Indonesian pilot for Garuda Indonesia airline and an alleged agent of Indonesia's State Intelligence Agency (BIN).[1] He was involved in the murder of human rights activist Munir Said Thalib with arsenic on 7 September 2004.

In July 2004 at Jakarta's Sahid Jaya Hotel, Pollycarpus gave Garuda's then-chief executive officer Indra Setiawan a letter from BIN deputy chairman M. As'ad. The letter instructed Indra to place Pollycarpus in Garuda's corporate security sector.[2] Consequently, on 11 August 2004, Indra wrote a letter addressed to Pollycarpus and copied to Garuda's then-vice president for corporate security, Ramelgia Anwar, assigning Pollycarpus to assist in corporate security.[3]
