Nerilka's Story is a science fiction novel in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. It was first published in 1985.

Taking a different approach from all previous stories, Nerilka's Story presents a non-dragonrider viewpoint set concurrently during the events detailed in Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern. Nerilka is the daughter of a Lord Holder who turns her back on her life of luxury and sets out to fight the disease that threatens to kill all humans on Pern.
