Indian shot (Canna indica) is a rhizomatous tropical perennial in the Cannaceae family, native to the tropical Americas. It produces broad leaves, vibrant flowers, and bead-like black seeds, while the rhizome has been the part most often noted in traditional food and ethnobotanical use.

Although best known as an ornamental, Indian shot also has a history of traditional use in some cultures, where the rhizome was prepared as food or in simple household remedies. It is not among the most commonly used Western herbs today.

Indian shot is generally not used medicinally, and while the rhizomes are edible when cooked, other parts of the plant may cause mild digestive discomfort if consumed improperly.
