The quake struck in the Molucca Sea at 1927 (1127 GMT), some 160km (99 miles) south-east of the city of Manado.
Indonesian officials put the quake strength at 6.5 and said it could pose a tsunami risk.
Indonesia was the worst-hit country in the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, which killed more than 160,000 people in Aceh province.
A spokesman for the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there were dangers of a "localised" tsunami, stretching from 100-200km (62-124 miles) from the epicentre.
The Associated Press news agency reported a witness on Sulawesi as saying that at least three residents were injured by the quake.
