Nerriga (/nɛrəɡə/) is a small village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia in Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council.

[1] In 1828, grazier George Galbraith was listed as the owner of some 2,000 acres (810 ha) of land on the Endrick River, to the east of the current village.

It was intended that this pass, known as The Wool Road would allow movement of agricultural produce to a port on Jervis Bay from the Braidwood and Goulburn districts.

[7] The discovery of alluvial gold on the Shoalhaven River in 1851 led to increased interest in the area around Nerriga, and the town began to grow, with the Commercial Hotel opening for business some time around 1864.

Local residents continued to hose down the building for several hours to protect it from burning embers until volunteers from the New South Wales Rural Fire Service arrived.
