Indiana (1961–14 June 1983) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career which lasted from autumn 1963 until July 1965 he ran thirteen times and won four races. He won the Classic St Leger as a three-year-old in 1964, the same year in which he also won the Chester Vase and the Great Voltigeur Stakes. Indiana also finished second in the Epsom Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris. He retired from racing and exported in 1966 to stand as a stallion in the Japan. He died in 1983.

Indiana was a bay horse who stood 15.3 hands high bred in Ireland by F. F. Tuthill. He was sired by the St Leger winner Sayajirao out of the mare Willow Ann. Willow Ann never raced but was a success as a broodmare: in addition to Indiana, she also produced the Belmont Stakes winner Cavan. Indiana was a small and unprepossessing yearling and when he was sent to the Newmarket sales he has bought for 5,000 guineas by the London Bloodstock Agency on behalf of Charles Engelhard.

Engelhard sent the colt into training with Jack Watts at Newmarket.

Indiana was slow to mature and ran only twice as a two-year-old. After finishing unplaced on his debut he finished second in the Clarence House Stakes at Ascot in September.

Indiana made his seasonal debut in the Royal Stakes at Sandown in April, in which he finished second to Oncidium. In May, Indiana recorded his first win when taking the Chester Vase over one and a half miles at Chester Racecourse. He then finished unplaced behind Oncidium in the Lingfield Derby Trial, beaten eight lengths.
