"Nude" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead. It was released in March 2008 as the second single from their seventh studio album, In Rainbows (2007).

Radiohead first recorded "Nude" during the sessions for their third album, OK Computer (1997), but were not satisfied with the results. They performed it several times over the following decade and it became one of their best-known unreleased songs. During the In Rainbows sessions, Radiohead rearranged it around a new bassline written by Colin Greenwood.

"Nude" was promoted with a music video and a competition inviting fans to create remixes using the separated stem tracks. Boosted by sales of the stems, "Nude" reached number 21 on the UK Singles Chart and number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Radiohead's first US top-40 hit since their debut single, "Creep", in 1993.
