New Market is a town in Montgomery County, Indiana, in the United States. The population was 636 at the 2010 census.
The town of New Market was platted in 1872 by Joseph White Sr., Carson Wray Sr., Joseph Kelsey and William K. White, during the construction of the S.C.L&W. railway through the area. The construction of the line was to serve the cities of Frankfort, Crawfordsville and Terre Haute. In southern Montgomery County it passed through the communities of New Market, Waveland, Browns Valley, Crawfordsville, and Lake Holiday. The line was later sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad and abandoned in the 1970s. The post office at New Market has been in operation since 1872.
In 1893, during the run-up to prohibition, citizens of New Market burned a saloon owned by Jake Feel; a second saloon, owned by Joe Haskins, was burned in December 1894.
