Here, we report the single crystal growth and characterization of EuIn₂, a magnetic topological semimetal candidate according to our density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We present results from electrical resistance, magnetization, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS) measurements. We observe three magnetic transitions at T_N1 ~ 14.2 K, T_N2 ~ 12.8 K and T_N3 ~ 11 K, signatures of which are consistently seen in anisotropic temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistance data. Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements on ground crystals suggest an incommensurate sinusoidally modulated magnetic structure below the transition at T_N1 ~ 14 K, followed by the appearance of higher harmonics in the modulation on further cooling roughly below T_N2 ~ 13 K, before the moment distribution squaring up below the lowest transition around T_N3 ~ 11 K. XRMS measurements showed the appearance of magnetic Bragg peaks below T_N1 ~ 14 K, with a propagation vector of $$τ$$ = ($$τ_h$$, $$\overline{τ}_h$$, 0), with $$τ_h$$ varying with temperature, and showing a jump at T_N3 ~ 11 K. The temperature dependence of $$τ_h$$ between ~ 11 K and 14 K shows incommensurate values consistent with the Mössbauer data. XRMS data indicate that $$τ_h$$ remains incommensurate at low temperatures and locks into $$τ_h$$ = 0.3443(1).
