Meshingomesia Cemetery and Indian School Historic District is a historic school and cemetery and national historic district located in Pleasant Township, Grant County, Indiana. It encompasses a school building (c. 1870), cemetery, and grave markers located on a portion of land reserved by the Miami Nation during the period of treaty making between 1794 and 1840. The property has been continuously owned by the Miami (Myaamia) people. The school building was moved to its present location about 1944 and restored in 1998.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
