The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC; colloquially Nevada State Athletic Commission) is the state agency charged with regulating all contests and exhibitions of unarmed combat—including boxing, mixed martial arts, kickboxing, and other related combat sports—within the U.S. state of Nevada. The commission is composed of five members appointed by the governor and is vested with authority to license participants (fighters, promoters, managers, officials), approve contests, enforce safety standards, and impose discipline, including revocation or suspension of licenses. As the agency responsible for regulating Nevada's combat sports, it is often at the center of high-profile championships hosted by various entertainment venues on the Las Vegas Strip.

Formally established by the Nevada Legislature in 1941, the commission operates as an agency within the Nevada Department of Business and Industry. Notable events regulated by the commission include Ultimate Fighting Championship, WWE, and Power Slap.
