The New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary (新版ネルソン漢英辞典, Shinpan Neruson Kan-Ei jiten) is a kanji dictionary published with English speakers in mind.

The primary change in the new version is the adoption of the traditional 214 Kangxi radicals as the dictionary's main indexing method.

On-yomi readings of the kanji are denoted by small caps and kun-yomi by italics.

Every character has index numbers into the Morohashi dictionary and the Japanese JIS X 0208 standard if they exist.

All characters are prioritized by their Jōyō simplifications, however traditional forms are provided for every one.
