Tan Eng Goan

Tan Eng Goan, 1st Majoor der Chinezen (; 1802 – 17 September 1872) was a high-ranking bureaucrat who served as the first Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia (now Jakarta), capital of colonial Indonesia. This was the highest-ranking Chinese position in the civil administration of the Dutch East Indies. Many members of his family served as Chinese officers, part of the civil administration of the Dutch colonial government. This was among the earliest and biggest of Batavia's organized night markets, and served as a prototype for similar and later markets elsewhere.

Significance Tan is remembered today as the first sitting Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia, arguably the most important Chinese officership in colonial Indonesia.

As recently as 2013, the saga of the Majoor, his son-in-law and their rivalry with Oey provided part of the inspiration for Atilah Soeryadjaya's musical, Ariah.
