Indiana's 4th congressional district is acongressional district in theU.S. state ofIndiana. From 2003 to 2013 the district was based primarily in the central part of the state, and consisted of all ofBoone,Clinton,Hendricks,Morgan,Lawrence,Montgomery, andTippecanoe counties and parts ofFountain,Johnson,Marion,Monroe, andWhite counties. The district surroundedIndianapolis, including the suburban area ofGreenwood, and encompassed the more exurban areas ofCrawfordsville andBedford, as well as thecollege town ofLafayette-West Lafayette, containingPurdue University.

Prior to the 2000 U.S. census, most of the territory currently in the 4th Congressional District was located in the7th Congressional District; the old 4th Congressional District was theFort Wayne district, which is now the3rd Congressional District. From the 2012 redistricting, the district shifted slightly north and west to include the Illinois border, while losing the eastern Indianapolis suburbs. It currently includes Crawfordsville, Lafayette, the western Indianapolis suburbs, and portions ofKokomo.

The district is currently represented byRepublicanJim Baird, who succeededTodd Rokita, who vacated his House seat to run for the Indiana U.S. Senate seat held byDemocratJoe Donnelly, losing the Republican nomination to eventual senatorMike Braun.^[3] Baird was elected on November 6.
