The Councils of Nîmes (Latin: Concilia Nemausensia) is the name given to a series of four religious synods that took place in Nîmes, southern France, during the Middle Ages.

The four councils took place in 394, 886, 1096, and 1284.

The First Council of 394 (referred to by Sulpicius Severus) resulted in the adoption of seven canons on church discipline, including the forbidding of female deaconesses. The Third Council of July 1096 was presided over by Pope Urban II, and resulted in the adoption of sixteen disciplinary canons. The Second (886) and Fourth (1284) Councils are considered to be of little historical importance.
