James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children is now officially named Riley Hospital for Children and is a children's hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. It is named for James Whitcomb Riley, a writer and poet who lived in Indiana. As of 2005 it is part of Indiana University School of Medicine and operated by Clarian Health Partners.

In 1916 a group of prominent citizens from Indianapolis who knew Riley started the Riley Memorial Association (later called Riley Children's Foundation) to build a children's hospital in memory of Riley. The hospital opened in 1924. In 1950, the foundation started Camp Riley, a camp in south central Indiana for children with disabilities.
