Nova is the second studio album by American trap music producer RL Grime, who is also known as Henry Steinway. It was released by American record label WeDidIt on July 27, 2018. The album consists of 15 songs, which include collaborations with Miguel, Julia Michaels, Chief Keef, Ty Dolla Sign, 24HRS and Joji.

Nova incorporates four distinct genres: bass, hip-hop, dance-pop, and R&B. Steinway themed the album on the ideas of growth and transition, and named it after his visions of a nova expanding limitlessly. Four singles were released in promotion; "I Wanna Know" featuring American singer Daya, "Undo" featuring Jeremih and Tory Lanez, "Pressure", and "Light Me Up" featuring Miguel and Julia Michaels.

A tour ran in November 2018 for Nova. Upon release, the album received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics, with them noting the appeal to mainstream audiences, while drawing comparisons to Steinway's previous studio album, Void. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums, with first-week sales of 6,000 units, while reaching number 50 on the Australian Albums chart.
