Indians in the Dominican Republic consist of a number of expatriates and immigrants from India and their locally born descendants. As of 2020, there are about 54 people of Indian ancestry living the country.[2]

In recent years, Indian students have started joining medical courses in the Dominican Republic and engineers and IT professionals are trickling in as major companies have set up shop on the island.[3] There is also a small, but dominant Gujarati business community mainly engaged in the hotel and jewellery industry. Swaminarayan practitioners have become more common on the island due to an outreach program.[4]
