Nenad (Serbian pronunciation: [nɛnɑːd]) (Cyrillic script: Ненад) is a male personal name of Slavic origin common in the former Yugoslavia. It is more widespread in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia than in other countries. The name is derived from the word nenadan, which means "unexpected". It was introduced to Macedonia via Serbian and is now a fairly popular name. In Bulgaria, the name is not traditional and its not used widely.

This name is often given to the younger of twins, in this case usually paired with name Predrag, from the epic Serbian folk song "Predrag i Nenad".
