锡金邦（锡金语：འབྲས་ལྗོངས།，威利：Bras Ljongs，意为“米之谷”；尼泊爾語：सिक्किम，拉丁字母转写：Sikkim）是印度的一个内陆邦。锡金位于喜马拉雅山脉南麓，北面与中国接壤，东面与不丹接壤，西面是尼泊尔，南面则与西孟加拉邦相邻。面積約7000平方公里，其人口約60萬。 锡金曾长期是一个世袭君主国——锡金王国，附属于英属印度。1975年4月14日，印度任命的锡金首相举行是否保留君主制的公民投票，依据投票结果废除君主制。同年5月16日即加入印度，成為印度的第22个邦——锡金邦。第12代却嘉（国王）佩登东杜南嘉流亡美国，组建流亡政府，宣称不承认印度对锡金的统治。2003年，印度承认西藏自治区主权属中华人民共和国，换取中华人民共和国承认印度对锡金拥有主权。此後锡金流亡政府不被任何国家政府承认。
