The '''45th Indian Infantry Brigade''' was an Infantry formation of the [[Indian Army during World War II]]. The brigade was formed in June 1941, at [[Ahmednagar]] in India and assigned to the [[17th Indian Infantry Division]]. It was transferred to [[Malaya Command]] in January 1942 where it was virtually destroyed in the [[Battle of Muar]]. What was left of the brigade was briefly under command of the [[Australian 8th Division]] in February 1942, during the [[Battle of Singapore]] and surrendered to the Japanese with the rest of the garrison on 15 February.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2009-10-19|publisher=Order of Battle|title=45 Brigade|url=http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=6162&Tab=Uhi}}</ref><br />
