Nate Green (born December 2, 1977) is a retired American basketball player who played professionally in the Australian National Basketball League, the NBA Development League and Italy's Lega Serie A.

Following the close of his college career, Green played in Australia's National Basketball League for the Canberra Cannons. He then returned to the United States to play two seasons in the NBA Development League for the North Charleston Lowgators and the Columbus Riverdragons.
