The Indio River (Spanish: Río Indio) is a river of Vega Baja and Morovis in Puerto Rico. Indio River has mogotes on either side. Indio River meets Cibuco River. The river is quick to rise and causes flooding when there is heavy rain.^[2][3]

An important archeological site, Paso del Indio, is located on the west bank of Río Indio in Vega Baja. Discovered when a highway was being built, it contained artifacts and bones carbon dated to 2580 b.c.^[4]
