Nueva Cáceres, officially the City of Nueva Cáceres (Spanish: Ciudad de Nueva Cáceres), was a colonial Spanish city in the Philippines. Established by Captain Pedro de Sanchez in 1575, the city was named in honor of Governor-General Francisco de Sande who was a native of Cáceres, Spain. In 1595, a papal bull coming from the Holy See created the See of Cáceres under the Archdiocese of Manila.

Nueva Cáceres was considered the center of economy and industry in the Bicol Region, and the city was made capital of the province of Camarines. When the province was dissolved in 1829 and 1857, the city then became the capital of Camarines Sur. From 1902 until 1908, some villages of Canaman and Camaligan were annexed to the city.

On September 18, 1898, corporals Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo of the Guardia Civil planned a revolt to overthrow the Spanish colonial government and establish a republic. Their rebellion was successful, but it was short-lived. When the Americans arrived in Nueva Cáceres, they encountered no resistance and replaced the republican government with their own.

In 1919, under the Insular Government, most of Nueva Cáceres became part of the municipality of Naga, while several villages in the northwest were retroceded to their respective mother towns.
