Loloda is a North Halmahera language of Indonesia.

The Loloda area is part of the West Halmahera Regency of North Malukku. The coastline here is very rugged, with sometimes near vertical cliffs rising out of the sea. The mostly Christian population of the mainland mostly lives in isolated villages set on scenic bays.

Kedi, the regional capital of southern Loloda which belongs to West Halmahera Regency, is in the south, near the border with Ibu. North Loloda, belonging to North Halmahera Regency, also includes a cluster of largish islands off its northern coastline. The population of these very pretty islands, the largest of which are Doi and Dagasuli, is mostly Muslim.
