Abdul Ghani Kasuba (21 December 1951 – 14 March 2025) was an Indonesian politician and the governor and lieutenant governor of North Maluku.
Kasuba denoted South Halmahera Regency as a region he wanted to develop as the province's tourism hub. In 2017, he inaugurated the Widi International Fishing Tournament as one of those ways.
After visiting representatives of the Jinchun Group in Guangzhou, Kasuba successfully negotiated for the group to build a nickel smelter on Obira in the Obi Islands. He was later arrested on 20 December 2023 due to a corruption case.
Kasuba died in Ternate, North Maluku, Indonesia on 14 March 2025, at the age of 73.
