Nuevo is a 2002 album by the Kronos Quartet composed entirely of music of Mexican origin.

It was inspired by a number of visits made to Mexico by the quartet's violinist and founder, David Harrington, from 1995.[1]

The album was produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, David Harrington, and Judith Sherman, and co-produced by Aníbal Kerpel.[2] It was released on CD by Elektra Records, and was nominated for a 2003 Latin Grammy award for "Best Classical Album" and a 2003 Grammy award for "Best Classical Crossover Album".

The quartet performed the album live during 2002.[1][3]
