Hinduism in Sierra Leone is the religion of some South Asian expatriates.

Hindus in Sierra Leone are mainly traders.

Freetown, the capital and principal city of Sierra Leone, has a large Hindu community, including a Hindu association and a priest.

Hindus are allowed cremation in Freetown.

Following the exodus of expatriates in 1999 during the Sierra Leone civil war, the Indian community numbers dwindled to about 100, mostly businessmen of Sindhi origin.

There is a functioning Hindu temple in Freetown.
