Nye is an unincorporated community in Stillwater County, Montana, United States.

Originally a copper mining camp, the town sprang into existence when Jack Nye and the Hedges brothers staked their claim.

Nye's first post office was established on October 6, 1887, with Thomas Ross as its first postmaster.

The Minnesota Mining and Smelting Company built a copper smelter here in 1889, but it was shut down when it was discovered that they were illegally on the Crow Indian Reservation.
