# Indianapolis 500 in 2020

De 104e editie van de Indianapolis 500 werd in 2020 verreden op zondag 23 augustus op de Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis in de staat Indiana. De race stond oorspronkelijk gepland op 24 mei, maar deze werd uitgesteld vanwege de coronapandemie. Het was de eerste keer dat de race niet op of rond Memorial Day eind mei werd gehouden.

Scott Dixon, winnaar in 2008, werd tweede, terwijl Graham Rahal zijn beste resultaat in de race wist te evenaren met een derde plaats, waar hij in 2011 al finishte.
