Indijos subkontinentas – Azijos regionas, esantis į pietus nuo Himalajų ir besitęsiantis link Indijos vandenyno.

Dėl panašios teritorijos kai kurie akademikai „Indijos subkontinentą“ ir „Pietų Aziją“ vartoja kaip sinonimus. Dėl politinių priežasčių, kai kurie siūlo terminą „Pietų Azijos subkontinentas“, „Indo-Pako subkontinentas“ ar „Pietų Azija“. Akademikai teigia, kad „Pietų Azija“ Europoje ir Šiaurės Amerikoje populiaresnė nei „Indijos subkontinentas“. Indologas Ronald B. Inden teigia, kad pirmasis terminas plinta, nes aiškiai atskiriama Rytų Azija, bet kiti turi priešingą nuomonę.

Istoriškai Indijos subkontinentas priklausė Didžiajai Indijai ar Britų Indijai, o dabar čia yra Indija, Pakistanas ir Bangladešas. Subkontinentui dažnai priskiriami Butanas, Nepalas ir Šri Lanka. Kartais priskiriami Maldyvai. Čia gyvena 34 % Azijos ir 16,5 % pasaulio žmonių.
