NBC Nightside (also known as NBC News Nightside) is an American overnight television news program on NBC, that aired from 1991 to 1998. The program was produced in three half-hour segments. It usually aired live seven nights a week from 1:00 to 2:30 a.m. Eastern Time, which was then rebroadcast on a looped feed until 4:30 or 5 a.m. local time, depending on the individual affiliate.

The program premiered on November 4, 1991, and was NBC's second attempt at a late night news program after NBC News Overnight, which ran for seventeen months from 1982 to 1983.

Nightside differed from its two competitors – CBS's Up to the Minute and ABC's World News Now, which are both based in New York City – in that rather than being broadcast from the headquarters of NBC News itself in New York, it was instead based out of the Charlotte, North Carolina facilities of NBC NewsChannel, the network's newsfeed service providing customized reports and video of national news to NBC owned-and-operated stations and affiliates, and which was based in studios connected to those of Charlotte's NBC affiliate WCNC-TV (channel 36). Also unlike the other network overnight newscasts, which run only on Monday through Fridays, NBC Nightside ran in the early morning hours on all seven days of the week.

Some of Nightside's many anchors went on to national success including Antonio Mora and Campbell Brown. Former NBC News president Steve Capus once served as a senior producer for the program.
