INTERNAL CONTROL RPT

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Index Funds and
Shareholders of
Vanguard Value Index Fund
Vanguard Growth Index Fund
Vanguard 500 Index Fund and
Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund

In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statements of Vanguard Value Index Fund, Vanguard Growth
Index Fund, Vanguard 500 Index Fund and Vanguard Large-
Cap Index Fund (four of the funds constituting Vanguard
Index Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds")
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we
considered the Funds' internal control over financial reporting,
including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Funds' internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Funds' internal control over financial reporting.

The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting.  In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of controls.  A company's
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis.  A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the company's
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies
in internal control over financial
reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the PCAOB.  However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls over
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material
weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2022.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Index Funds and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
