El cuervo indio (Corvus splendens)​ es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Corvidae propia del sur y sudeste de Asia. Existen también diversas poblaciones que ha colonizado en África oriental y en varios enclaves costeros del Arabia. Esta ave se encuentra actualmente en la lista de especie exóticas invasoras preocupantes para la Unión Europea.​ Por tamaño, 40 cm de longitud, está entre la grajilla occidental y la corneja negra, pero es más esbelto. La frente, la coronilla, la garganta y la parte alta del pecho son negros, mientras que el resto del pecho tiene un color gris amarronado. Las alas, cola y patas son negras. Hay variaciones regionales en el grosor del pico y la profundidad del color en las plumas.
