Defunct vinyl record and capacitance electronic disc (CED) pressing plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Opened on August 5, 1939, it was the largest and one of three strategically located record manufacturing plants operated by RCA in the U.S. The plant ceased production of the CED VideoDisc on June 27, 1986, and ceased vinyl production in 1987.

After RCA's acquisition by General Electric in 1986, the site was sold to Thomson Consumer Electronics, which produced television components, finally closing in 1997. At peak production in the 1950s, the plant employed 8,200 and was one of Indianapolis' largest employers. As of 2018, the RCA/Thomson Consumer Electronics Plant site is now known as Sherman Park and is being primed for redevelopment.
