Corruption is a serious problem in Indonesia that not only causes state financial losses but also undermines justice, equality, public trust, and the distribution of social benefits. This study aims to analyze corruption in Indonesia as a form of institutional injustice from the perspective of John Rawls's theory of justice. The study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach. Data were obtained through an examination of books, journal articles, and scholarly sources relevant to corruption and Rawls's theory of justice. The findings indicate that corruption contradicts the principle of justice as fairness because it creates inequalities in access to power, public positions, public services, and resource distribution. Corruption also violates the principles of equal basic liberties, fair equality of opportunity, and the difference principle because corrupt benefits are obtained through unfair mechanisms and ultimately impose social costs on society, particularly disadvantaged groups. Therefore, combating corruption should focus not only on law enforcement but also on institutional reform and strengthening social justice.
