Kedu Residency (also known as Kedoe and Kedoo) was a colonial administrative unit in Central Java in Java, Indonesia.

It contained the areas which are now the Kebumen, Wonosobo, Temanggung, Purworejo and Magelang regencies (including Magelang city). All of the areas under the residency were under the Surakarta Sunanate, until the Indonesian government abolished its recognition of the monarchy. It was adjacent to the Banyumas (to the west), and Semarang (to the north) residencies.
