Kerajaan Yunani-India atau Kerajaan India-Yunani menempati wilayah di daerah barat laut anak benua India pada dua abad terakhir SM, dan dipimpin oleh lebih dari 30 raja Hellenistik,^[1] yang sering bertikai satu sama lain. Kerajaan ini didirikan oleh raja Yunani-Baktria Demetrios yang menginvasi India pada awal abad ke-2 SM; dalam konteks ini perbatasan "India" adalah Hindu Kush. Orang Yuanni di India ada akhirnya dibagi dari Kerajaan Yunani-Baktria yang berpusat di Baktria (kini perbatasan antara Afghanistan dan Uzbekistan).

^ Euthydemus I was, according to Polybius 11.34, a Magnesian Greek. His son, Demetrius I, founder of the Indo-Greek kingdom, was therefore of Greek ethnicity at least by his father. A marriage treaty was arranged for the same Demetrius with a daughter of the Seleucid ruler Antiochus III (who had some Persian descent). Polybius 11.34. The ethnicity of later Indo-Greek rulers is less clear ("Notes on Hellenism in Bactria and India". W. W. Tarn. Journal of Hellenic Studies, Vol. 22 (1902), pages 268–293). For example, Artemidoros (80 BC) may have been of Indo-Scythian ascendency. Some level of inter-marriage may also have occurred, as exemplified by Alexander III of Macedon (who married Roxana of Bactria) or Seleucus (who married Apama).
