The Neo-Grünfeld Defense is a chess opening. It is a branch of the Grünfeld Defense in which White delays the development of his queen's knight; typical move orders (in algebraic notation) are 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. f3 d5 or, more commonly, 1. d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3. g3 d5 (this latter is the Kemeri Variation; see diagram).

In the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings, the Neo-Grünfeld has the codes D70-D79.
