Notre Dame, Indiana is a postal service area serving an unincorporated community in St. Joseph County, Indiana just north of and adjacent to the City of South Bend. The postal service area includes the campuses of the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, and Holy Cross College.

Unincorporated communities have no municipal government. Notre Dame's only government entities are the post office and the colleges' police forces. All colleges and universities in Indiana are entitled to an independent police force by law [1]. The University of Notre Dame also has its own fire department and supplies its own water and power. The ZIP code for the community is 46556.

Notre Dame, Indiana is also the home of three major headquarters of Holy Cross religious communities. On the campus of Saint Mary's College the Sisters of the Holy Cross have their Congregational Administration. The Holy Cross College campus is the location of the Provincial Offices of two provinces of the Congregation of Holy Cross: the Midwest Province of Brothers and the Indiana Province of Priests and Brothers.

The postal service area crosses the unincorporated townships of Clay and Portage.
