In chess, the East Indian Defence is an opening characterized by the move order:1. :2. [World Correspondence Chess Federation, http://www.ewccf.com/eco.htm] It has a close kinship to the more common King's Indian Defence and is often considered a variant thereof. The difference is that White has not yet played c4, and therefore retains some options.

If White plays an early c4, the opening will transpose into a King's Indian. It is also possible for White to support an early e4 advance, transposing into the Pirc Defence. Unless transposition is reached, there are four popular, independent continuations:
* 3.g3 (the Przepiorka variation, closely related to the Fianchetto Variation of the King's Indian)
* 3.Bg5 (the Torre system, which may be considered a variant of the Torre Attack)
* 3.Bf4 (the London system)
* 3.Nc3 (the Barry Attack) [Kenilworth Chess Club, http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/kenilworthian/2005/11/barry-attack-bibliography.html]

The Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings classifies the East Indian Defence under A49 for the Przepiorka variation and A48 for the others.
