NEdit, the Nirvana editor, is a popular text editor for the X Window System. It has an interface similar to text editors on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh, rather than to older UNIX editors like Emacs. It was initially developed by Mark Edel for Fermilab and released under a restricted licence, but today it is distributed under the GNU General Public License, and developed as an independent open source project by a team of developers.

NEdit is extensible through a C-like macro language, and features syntax highlighting and automatic indentation for a wide variety of computer languages. Its user interface is made using the Motif (widget toolkit) toolkit.
