The Indio Hills are a low mountain range in the Colorado Desert, near Indio in eastern Riverside County, southern California.
The Indio Hills are located in the Coachella Valley along the San Andreas Fault. The hills have natural springs along the fault. These support native California Fan Palm (Washingtonia filifera) oases habitats.
The Indio Hills Palms State Reserve and Coachella Valley National Wildlife Refuge protect sections of the Indio Hills.
