The Indo-Portuguese creoles are the several creole languages of India and Sri Lanka which had a substantial Portuguese influence in grammar or lexicon, such as
- Sri Lankan Portuguese creole
- Diu Portuguese creole
- Daman Portuguese creole
- Kristi language
- Cochin Portuguese creole
- Cannanore Portuguese creole

The expression Indo-Portuguese may refer not only to the creoles but also to the ethnic groups speaking those languages.
