"Nazz" is the 1968 (see 1968 in music) debut album by American psychedelic rockers Nazz. Though sometimes mistakenly called "The Nazz", the group's official name on all records and press materials is simply, "Nazz", without the definite article. Nazz never became mainstream rock stars, but they did achieve a measure of cult popularity among some listeners, especially future glam rockers and power pop bands like David Bowie and Big Star, in whom Nazz's hard psychedelic influences can be heard. The song "Back of Your Mind" is considered an underground classic.

The track "Open My Eyes" has been said to be the inspiration behind one of the earliest songs written by KISS, "Love Her All I Can", a song originally intended for the pre-KISS band Wicked Lester. The song would appear on the 1975 KISS album "Dressed to Kill". The song "Open My Eyes" was also accompanied by a promo video.

"Nazz" peaked at #118 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, while single "Hello It's Me" peaked at #66 on the Pop Singles chart.
