Eagletown is an unincorporated community in Washington Township, Hamilton County, Indiana.

Eagletown was laid out in 1848.[2] It took its name from the Little Eagle Creek.[3] A post office was established at Eagletown in 1849, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1925.[4]

The largest architectural feature of the town is Eagletown Estates, a 38-lot mobile home park.[5] Lawyer and congressional candidate Nels Ackerson was born in Eagletown, and in 2006 with his sister Karen Ackerson Jamesen announced plans for "...a 1900s-themed, master-planned community with a mix of 1,125 houses, townhouses, condos and apartments and up to 1.5 million square feet of retailing, restaurants, office and business buildings..."[6] on their former family farm.

Musician Josh "The Reverend" Peyton of the country blues band The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band was born in Eagletown.
