Riderless Horse is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia. It was released by Temporary Residence Limited digitally and on CD on July 22, 2022, with the vinyl version following on November 4.

Her first new album since 2010's Outlaster, and the death of her long-time manager Kennan Gudjonsson in 2020, Riderless Horse was recorded and produced by Nastasia, Steve Albini and Greg Norman at a house in upstate New York. The record was inspired by Gudjonsson's suicide, and also the dysfunctional nature of their relationship, which Nastasia said contained "abuse, control and manipulation".[1]

"Just Stay in Bed" was released as the first single from the album on April 4, 2022, with Nastasia beginning a tour supporting Scottish rock band Mogwai a day later. "This Is Love" was released as the second single on May 11, followed by "Afterwards" on June 14.

The album received critical acclaim upon its release, and multiple publications ranked it as one of the best albums of 2022.
