Indite is an extremely rare indium-iron sulfide mineral, found in Siberia. Its chemical formula is FeIn₂S₄.

It occurs as replacement of cassiterite in hydrothermal deposits. It is associated with dzhalindite, cassiterite and quartz. It was first described in 1963 for an occurrence in the Dzhalinda tin deposit, Malyi Khingan Range, Khabarovskiy Kray, Far-Eastern Region, Russia.[http://www.mindat.org/min-2029.html Mindat]
