Nida ((ドイツ語:Nidden)) is a resort town in Lithuania, the administrative centre of Neringa municipality.

It currently has about 1,650 residents.
== History ==
A settlement area of the Baltic Curonians, the original place called ''nida'' ("fluent") in the Old Prussian language was first mentioned in 1385 documents issued by the Teutonic Knights, who ruled the lands within their Monastic State. The original settlement on the road along the Curonian Spit from Königsberg to Memel was located about south of its today's position near the ''Hohe Düne'' (High Dune) at Cape Grobštas (from Old Prussian: ''grabis'', "hill"). The fishing village became part of the Duchy of Prussia in 1525 and of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701.
In 1709 nearly all of the population died from a bubonic plague epidemia. Continuously threatened by sand drifts, the village was moved away from the approaching dune to today's position in the 1730s. Incorporated into the Prussian Province of East Prussia in 1773, it became part of the German Empire upon the German unification of 1871. In 1874 a lighthouse on Urbas hill was built, later destroyed in the war and rebuilt in 1945 and 1953.
