Indefinite Pronoun को हिंदी व्याकरण में अनिश्चयवाचक सर्वनाम कहते हैं. अर्थात ऐसे Pronouns Word जिनसे किसी निश्चित व्यक्ति या वस्तु का बोध न होता हो उन्हें Indefinite Pronoun कहते हैं. जैसे –

  • There is something. ( वंहा कुछ है.)
  • Someone is coming. ( कोई आ रहा है.)
  • They are eating something. (वे कुछ खा रहे हैं.)
