Nerve Net is a 1992 music album by the British musician Brian Eno. It marked a return to more rock-ier material, mixed with heavily syncopated rhythms, experimental electronic compositions and an occasionally touch of jazz. The ambient sensibility is still there on several tracks, though it is often darker and moodier than the pieces Eno is best known for.

This is only the second album of Eno's to generate single releases (the first being "One Word" from 1990's Wrong Way Up): 12-inch and CD singles for the pieces "Ali Click"[1], and "Fractal Zoom"[2], both of which featured various remixes of the songs by the likes of Moby, Markus Draws and Isaac Osapanin.
