Opera Van Java (abbreviated as OVJ) is an improvisation comedy show broadcast on the Indonesian TV station Trans7. The show's concept is of wayang orang performances in a modern setting. As such, all positions are referred as wayang.

The sketches are varied. They may be adapted from Indonesian folklore, biographies of famous persons, fiction, mystery stories, foreign stories, or popular culture.

On 15 August 2016, Opera Van Java was revived with the new stars.

Sahurnya OVJ was a special Ramadan edition of Opera Van Java which began airing in 2009. It was broadcast at dawn, coinciding with suhoor.

Starting in 2011, OVJ appeared in different designs, namely Panas DIngin Awards. It is served as the parody of Panasonic Gobel Awards. The reason of this parody is the Trans Corp (the sole owner of Trans7) have felt cheated by MNC (owner of RCTI, the official broadcaster of the real awards for many consecutive years) because it was considered not fair in determining the winners.

Beginning on 11 June 2011, OVJ began holding the Opera Van Java Awards, an annual appreciation night for the guest stars who had appeared on Opera Van Java.

Since 2010, OVJ has held shows in many cities in Indonesia, usually broadcast as OVJ Roadshow. The roadshow is held twice on Saturdays: in the afternoon (recorded for later airing) and at night (live).

After the successful of the Copa Indonesia football competition in 2009, on 2010, OVJ appeared in a format which mixed football with comedy in the first time, the Copa Van Indonesia. It was based on the Copa Indonesia, and held every 2 years after the Copa Indonesia season. And, on 2011, OVJ is held the next football competition, but in annual, is OVJ Cup. Also same as Piala Indonesia.
