Nagar (Urdu: ریاست نگر, Riyasat Nagar) was a princely state located in the northern region of Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan. Before August 1947, it maintained a subsidiary alliance with British India. It shared its borders with the Gilgit Agency states to the south and west, while to the north and east, it bordered the princely state of District Hunza. From November 1947 to 1974, Nagar was recognized as a princely state within Pakistan, with its administrative center in the town of Nagar.

The land that was previously part of Nagar now comprises three tehsils within the Nagar District of northern Pakistan.
