The Indian Lord's Prayer is a colloquial term for a short film that was aired by many U.S. television stations during their sign-on and sign-off periods. It featured a Native American in ceremonial garb silently doing The Lord's Prayer in sign language while the prayer was spoken aloud as a voiceover on the audio track.

It was one of the most common of the many short inspirational or patriotic films aired by local stations in the U.S. at the end of their broadcast day prior to the advent of 24-hour programming schedules.
