The Netherlands Institute for the Near East

The Netherlands Institute for the Near East (Dutch: Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten; colloquially known by its abbreviation: NINO) is an institution for the advancement of the study of the Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Egypt.

The institute maintained close ties to Leiden University, moving into the Faculty of Humanities' newly built Witte Singel complex in 1982.

In 2024 the offices and library of NINO moved into the newly renovated Herta Mohr building of Leiden University's Faculty of Humanities.

Its current monograph series are PIHANS, Egyptological Publications and Achaemenid History.
