阿比南丹·瓦塔曼(印地語︰अभिनन्दन वर्धमान,1983年6月21日—)是印度一名戰機飛行員,在2019年印巴衝突期間被巴基斯坦擊落,其後他被關押了60個小時,之後被釋放。
阿比南丹·瓦塔曼在泰米爾納德邦出生和長大,後來他搬到了馬哈拉施特拉邦,畢業於印度國防學院。2004年他被任命為印度空軍的一名飛行軍官。 瓦塔曼其後在旁遮普邦接受進一步訓練,並於2006年晉升為飛行中尉,再於2010年晉升為中隊長。他於2017年6月被任命為聯隊指揮官。[1][2]
2019年2月27日,印度及巴基斯坦爆發邊境軍事衝突,瓦塔曼駕駛米格-21戰機飛越巴基斯坦領空,與巴基斯坦空軍的JF-17及F-16展開空中混戰,其後被擊落。[3][4]瓦塔曼跳傘脫身到巴基斯坦的一個村落,隨即被村民包圍及發生肢體衝突並受到輕傷[5]。巴基斯坦士兵介入把他解救出來,他因此被俘虜了近60個小時[6]。在巴基斯坦審問瓦塔曼凡過程中,瓦塔曼讚揚了巴基斯坦的熱情好客,並讚賞巴方提供的茶“太棒了(Tea is fantastic)”,這句話隨即在網上成為迷困[7][8]。第二天,巴基斯坦以人道主義理由釋放瓦塔曼。[9] 他於2019年3月1日返回印度,印度政府Vir Chakra授予他。[10]
2021年11月,瓦塔曼升任集團軍隊長。

This radar data proves beyond doubt — that F-16s were operating against India that day — exposing the lies and contradictions of Ghafoor — exposed further by the remains of the AMRAAM missile found in the Nowshera sector by the Indian military. AMRAAM missiles can only be fired by F-16s in the PAF inventory.
