Nereta (Lithuanian: Neretos; German: Nerft) is a village in Aizkraukle Municipality in the Selonia region of Latvia.

At the request of Duke Gotthard Kettler, the first Latin school for the children of servants of the manor and rectory was founded in Nereta.

Documents from 1672 mention Nereta town, which disappeared in 1709-1711 due to Great Northern War plague outbreak.

Four years after the epidemic, only a few people lived in Nereta Manor (German: Hof zu Narten now Neretaslauki).

During World War I, German troops built a Viesīte narrow-gauge railway to supply the front, connecting Nereta with Jēkabpils and Suvainiškis in Lithuania.
