Tera Klutz (born 1975/1976)[1] is an American Certified Public Accountant who served as the auditor of Indiana. She was appointed to the position after her predecessor, Suzanne Crouch resigned to become Lieutenant Governor of Indiana in January, 2017.[2]

On July 1, 2023, Governor Eric Holcomb signed legislation into law authorizing the State Auditor to do business as "the State Comptroller".[3] Nevertheless, the formal title of Klutz's office remains "State Auditor", as any permanent change would require a constitutional amendment.[4]

Klutz resigned on November 30, 2023.[5]
