The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Jakarta says this is a popular route and in this instance there was a mixture of Indonesians and Australians on board.
Survivors say large numbers of passengers escaped through the emergency doors before the plane burst into flames. The plane had reportedly shaken violently before landing.
A number of Australian government officials and journalists were travelling on the stricken flight to cover Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's visit to the region this week.
One woman described how she could smell smoke from the fuselage and helped a friend out on to the airstrip before hearing a large explosion behind her.
Mr Downer was reportedly not on the plane.
Engulfed by flames
'Completely gutted'
Some of those on board have been taken to hospital with apparently severe injuries or burns and there is concern for those left inside the plane after it was engulfed by fire.
"We overshot the runway, then I heard the sound of an explosion and ran through an emergency exit," passenger Muhammad Dimyati told local TV.
The plane was carrying Indonesian public figures and Australian government officials and journalists on their way to a meeting with the Australian foreign minister who is visiting Indonesia this week.
"I believe many passengers remained trapped on board," he said.
The operations chief at Yogyakarta airport said the front wheel of the plane was on fire as it landed, causing it to veer off the runway and hit a boundary fence.
Eyewitness Orlando de Guzman told the BBC that the fuselage was burned out. He said most of flames had been extinguished but the intense heat was preventing rescuers from entering the aircraft.
He said an engine had then broken away from the plane and the fuselage burst into flames. The aircraft came to rest in the middle of paddy field.
He said the wreckage was in the middle of a paddy field and that there was a strong smell of burning jet fuel. He said only the plane's tail was recognisable.
Indonesia has suffered several recent transport accidents, including an Adam Air plane, also a Boeing 737-400, that disappeared in January with 102 passengers and crew on board, and a ferry sinking in late December in which hundreds died.
Mr Guzman added that there was a long line of ambulances coming back and forth to the crash site.
