The Lion Air plane, with at least 110 passengers on board, hit the cow as it came into land at Jalaluddin airport on the island of Sulawesi.
No-one has been reported injured, but the cow was crushed to death under a plane wheel.
The pilot, Iwan Permadi, said that he could smell "burning meat".
He said he initially thought there were dogs in front of the plane, "but it turned out there were three cows wandering in the middle of the runway".
Plane With 110 Passengers Aboard Crashed Into Cow
Transport ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said that all the passengers had safely disembarked.
The airport was closed after the incident, affecting people's travel plans for the Eid holiday. It has now reopened.
Indonesia relies heavily on air travel to connect its more than 17,000 islands, but the country has one of Asia's worst air safety records.
Lion Air is one of Indonesia's biggest private carriers, and has been expanding rapidly in recent years.
In April this year, at least 22 people needed hospital treatment when a Lion Air plane on a domestic flight missed the runway at Bali's Denpasar airport and came down in the sea.
