Nadolol, sold under the brand name Corgard among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart pain, and atrial fibrillation. It has also been used to prevent migraine headaches and complications of cirrhosis. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include dizziness, feeling tired, a slow heart rate, and Raynaud syndrome. Serious side effects may include heart failure and bronchospasm. Its use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is of unclear safety. It is a non-selective beta blocker and works by blocking β1-adrenergic receptors in the heart and β2-adrenergic receptors in blood vessels.

Nadolol was patented in 1970 and came into medical use in 1978. It is available as a generic medication. A month supply in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about GB£6 as of 2019. In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount is about US$52. In 2016, it was the 283rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States with more than a million prescriptions.
