Indaka Local Municipality was an administrative area in the Uthukela District of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The municipality is named after the Indaka River that runs through the municipal area.[3]

Indaka is a predominantly rural municipality, and has no national roads running through it.[4] Indaka's economy is currently relying on subsistence agriculture, government services and private household employment.[4]

After municipal elections on 3 August 2016 it was merged into the larger Alfred Duma Local Municipality.
