Nettlestone is a village on the Isle of Wight, England about 4 miles (6 km) south east from Ryde. It is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having been in existence in 1066. Together with Seaview, it forms the civil parish of Nettlestone and Seaview.

The Priory Bay Hotel between Nettlestone & St Helens is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young lady who died there at the age of 14.

The local school is Nettlestone Primary which has taught local children since 1905. It moved to its current location in January 1906.

The village is home to the Bucks School Camp Association on Eddington Road.
