Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) is an automobile assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana which began as a joint venture between Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) subsidiary Subaru and Isuzu Motors Ltd. After Isuzu withdrew from the venture, SIA continued to manufacture Subaru models, and later began manufacturing the Toyota Camry.

The plant, which is Fuji Heavy Industry's sole overseas plant, was the subject of the 1995 book "On The Line at Subaru-Isuzu" by Laurie Graham, about plant working conditions. The facility is located at 5500 State Road 38 E. — also known the Bataan Memorial Highway.

Subaru and Isuzu had formed a joint venture, Subaru-Isuzu Automotive Inc., on March 17, 1987 to share production facilities at a new plant in Lafayette, Indiana. The plant was completed on December 31, 1988 and began producing the Subaru Legacy and Isuzu P'up in 1989. The factory was given $98 million in state and local tax incentives when it opened, and these remain in place.
