List of natural disasters in Nigeria
The following is a list of natural disasters in Nigerian history. The natural disasters included here are updated events which resulted in significant loss of life or property due to natural, non-biological processes of the Earth that have affected Nigeria lands.

In 1976, National Emergency Relief Agency (NERA) was established by Federal Government of Nigeria to coordinate disaster response activities in the country. The Agency was purely a relief organisation focussing only on post disaster management. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was established in 1999 to manage disasters in Nigeria, replacing NERA.

The drought in the country occurred in 1972 to 1974 and 1982 to 1984 across the Sudan-Sahel zone.
