'''Nu metal''' (kadang juga ditulis '''nü-metal''') adalah subgenre [[metal alternatif]] yang menggabungkan [[heavy metal]] dengan unsur-unsur lain seperti [[Musik hip hop|hip hop]], [[Musik rok alternatif|rok alternatif]], [[funk]], [[industrial]], dan [[grunge]]. Grup musik nu metal banyak dipengaruhi bermacam-macam musik termasuk banyak sekali [[genre heavy metal]]. Nu metal jarang memasukkan [[solo gitar]] atau kompetensi teknis lain; lebih banyak mengutamakan [[sinkopasi]] dan [[riff]] [[Gitar elektrik|gitar]]. Banyak gitaris menggunakan [[gitar bersenar tujuh]] yang [[Penalaan gitar|disetem turun]] untuk menghasilkan suara yang lebih berat. [[Disjoki|DJ]] banyak menyediakan instrumentasi elektronik seperti [[Sampling (musik)|''sampling'']], ''[[scratching]]'', dan latar belakang [[Musik elektronik|elektronik]]. Teknik vokal nu metal dapat beragam seperti [[Bernyanyi|benyanyi]], [[rap]], berteriak, dan [[death growl|menggeram]] (''death growl''). Nu metal merupakan salah satu genre [[Gelombang baru heavy metal Amerika]].
Nu metal menjadi populer pada dekade 1990-an dengan hadirnya grup musik [[Korn]], [[Limp Bizkit]], dan [[Kid Rock]] yang albumnya terjual jutaan kopi. Popularitas nu metal terus bertahan hingga 2000-an, dengan grup musik seperti [[Papa Roach]], [[Staind]], dan [[P.O.D.]], telah menjual album multi-platinumnya, dan memuncak dengan album [[Linkin Park]] ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' yang mendapat sertifikasi ''diamond''. Pada pertengahan 2000-an, kejenuhan grup musik serta rilisan album yang lesu membuat nu metal menjadi merosot, dan juga menyebabkan [[metalcore]] makin populer dan banyak grup musik nu metal memilih bubar atau melepaskan diri dari nu metal dan beralih ke genre lain.
Selama 2010-an, muncul kebangkitan kembali nu metal; dengan hadirnya grup musik yang mencampurkan nu metal dengan genre lain (seperti [[metalcore]] dan [[deathcore]]) dan sejumlah grup musik nu metal dari era 1990-an dan 2000-an kembali ke suara nu metal. Grup musik seperti Staind, Linkin Park, dan Papa Roach kembali menciptakan lagu nu metal setelah meninggalkannya. Grup musik seperti [[Of Mice & Men]], [[Emmure]], [[Issues (grup musik)|Issues]], dan [[My Ticket Home]] memadukan nu metal dengan metalcore atau deathcore. Pada 2010-an, grup musik nu metal seperti [[From Ashes to New]], [[Islander (band)|Islander]], dan [[Ded (band)|Ded]] terlahir. Nu metal banyak mendapat kritikan dari penggemar heavy metal dan nu metal sering mendapat peyorasi seperti "mallcore". Sejumlah musisi nu metal tidak memandang musiknya sendiri sebagai heavy metal sedangkan yang lainnya justru menolak citra nu metal.
Nu metal telah menerima kritik dari banyak penggemar heavy metal, dan sering dicap dengan penghinaan seperti "mallcore". Banyak penggemar heavy metal tidak menganggap nu metal sebagai subgenre heavy metal sejati. Beberapa musisi yang disebut sebagai nu metal telah menolak label tersebut; yang lain bahkan tidak melihat musik mereka sebagai bentuk heavy metal.
