The Indian in the Cupboard is a 1980 children's book written by British author Lynne Reid Banks. In the story, a young boy discovers that when he locks a toy plastic Indian, named Little Bear and later known as Little Bull, in an old bathroom cupboard, the figure comes to life.
Banks has since written four additional books featuring the animated Indian;
- The Return of the Indian (1985)
- The Secret of the Indian (1989)
- The Mystery of the Cupboard (1992)
- The Key to the Indian (1998)
The story was made into a movie in 1995, starring Hal Scardino, Litefoot, Lindsay Crouse, Richard Jenkins, Rishi Bhat, Steve Coogan and David Keith. The movie was distributed by Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures.
