Saint Meinrad is an unincorporated census-designated place in Harrison Township, Spencer County, Indiana, along the Anderson River and just off Interstate 64. It is home to the St. Meinrad Archabbey. It is situated about 55 miles east of Evansville. Because of the archabbey, St. Meinrad, along with Harrison Township, lies within the Archdiocese of Indianapolis instead of the much closer Diocese of Evansville, in which lies the rest of Spencer County.
Saint Meinrad was laid out in 1861, and named after the local St. Meinrad Archabbey. A post office has been in operation at Saint Meinrad since 1862.
St. Meinrad is located at geographical coordinates 38° 10′ 19″ North, 86° 48′ 34″ West (38.172039, -86.809464).
