The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railway (CISL&C) was a railroad line formed in 1880 from the reorganization of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad. It operated a route from Cincinnati, through Indianapolis, to Lafayette. In 1889, it merged with other companies to form the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, also known as the "Big Four" Railroad.

The Big Four was later leased by the New York Central Railroad and eventually, its lines became part of Conrail, and now primarily belong to Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation.
