Capital town of Bali in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia; population (2000) 387,500. With its international airport, it is the largest commercial centre on the island, and the axis of road transport.

Denpasar is home to a university (1962), a museum of Balinese art, and the Konservatori Kerawitan, internationally famous as a centre for Balinese dance.
