Indo-grčko kraljevstvo ili Grčko-indijsko kraljevstvo[2] je bilo helenističko kraljevstvo koje se prostiralo od današnjeg Avganistana, u klasičnim ograničenjima Pundžaba Indijskog potkontinenta (severni Pakistan i severozapadna Indija),[3][4][5][6][7][8] tokom poslednja dva veka pre nove ere. Kraljevstvom je vladalo više od trideset kraljeva, često u međusobnom sukobu.
Kraljevstvo je osnovano kada je grčko-baktrijski kralj Demetrije napao potkontinent početkom drugog veka pre nove ere. Grci na Indijskom potkontinentu su na kraju odvojeni od Grko-baktrijaca koncentrisanih u Baktriji (sada granici između Avganistana i Uzbekistana), i Indo-grka u današnjem severozapadnom Indijskom potkontinentu. Najpoznatiji indo-grčki vladar bio je Menander (Milinda). On je imao prestonicu u Sakali u Pundžabu (današnjem Sialkotu).
Izraz „Indo-grčko kraljevstvo” labavo opisuje niz različitih dinastičkih politika, koje su tradicionalno povezane sa velikim brojem regionalnih prestonica, kao što je Taksila[9] (moderni Pandžab (Pakistan)), Puškalavati i Sagala.[10] Drugi potencijalni centri su samo nagovešteni; na primer, Ptolomejeva Geografija i nomenklatura kasnijih kraljeva sugerišu da je izvesni Teofil na jugu indo-grčke sfere uticaja takođe mogao biti satrapno ili kraljevsko sedište u jednom trenutku.
Tokom dva veka njihove vladavine, indo-grčki kraljevi su kombinovali grčke i indijske jezike i simbole, kao što se vidi na njihovim kovanicama, i mešali grčke i indijske ideje, kao što se vidi u arheološkim ostacima.[11] Rasprostranjenost indo-grčke kulture imala je posledice koje se i danas osećaju, naročito kroz uticaj grčko-budističke umetnosti.[12] Etnička pripadnost Indo-grka je možda u određenoj meri hibridna. Eutidem I bio je, prema Polibiju,[13] Magnezijski Grk. Njegov sin, Demetrijus I, osnivač Indo-grčkog kraljevstva, bio je stoga grčkog etničkog porekla barem po ocu. Dogovor o braku je sklopljen za Demetrija sa kćerkom seleukidskog vladara Antioha III (koji je delom imao persijsko poreklo).[14] Etnička pripadnost kasnijih indo-grčkih vladara je ponekad manje jasna.[15] Na primer, pretpostavlja se da je Artemidoros (80. pne) bio indo-skitskog porekla, iako je to sada sporno.[16]
Nakon smrti Menandera, veći deo njegovog carstva je razbijen i indo-grčki uticaj je znatno smanjen. Mnoga nova kraljevstva i republike istočno od reke Ravi počele su da prave nove kovanice koje prikazuju vojne pobede.[17] Najistaknutiji entiteti koji su se formirali bile su republika Jaudeja, Arjunajanas i Audumbaras. Jaudeja i Arjunajanas su obe tvrdile da su osvojile „pobedu mačem”.[18] U Maturi su ubrzo sledile dinastija Data i dinastija Mitra. Indo-grci su na kraju nestali kao politički entitet oko 10. godine nakon invazije Indo-skita, iako su se enklave grčkih populacija verovatno zadržale tokom nekoliko vekova pod kasnijom vladavinom Indo-partijanaca i Kušana.[19]

It is unclear whether the Hellenistic street plan found by Sir John Marshall's excavations dates from the Indo-Greeks or from the Kushans, who would have encountered it in Bactria; Tarn (1951, pp. 137, 179) ascribes the initial move of Taxila to the hill of Sirkap to Demetrius I, but sees this as "not a Greek city but an Indian one"; not a polis or with a Hippodamian plan.

His capital (was) at Sagala (Sialkot) in the Punjab, "in the country of the Yonakas (Greeks)"." McEvilley, p. 377. However, "Even if Sagala proves to be Sialkot, it does not seem to be Menander's capital for the Milindapanha states that Menander came down to Sagala to meet Nagasena, just as the Ganges flows to the sea."
