ARA Indómita (P-86) is an Intrépida-class fast attack craft of the Argentine Navy.[2] The vessel has a twin sister ship, ARA Intrépida. It is the first Argentine ship to bear the name.

The vessel was reported active as of 2022.[3] In October 2022 it was reported that Indómita had received an upgrade incorporating a Stabilized Naval Observation and Marksmanship System (SEON) to enhance her surveillance capabilities.[4]

In 2023, Indómita, accompanied by the patrol boats Baradero and Barranqueras, conducted joint exercises with the patrol vessels Piloto Sibbald and Aspirante Isaza of the Chilean Navy.[5]
