The Nera Plateau (Russian: Нерское плоскогорье, Yakut: Ньара хаптал хайалаах сирэ) is a mountain plateau in the southeastern Sakha Republic (Oymyakon District) and the northwestern end of Magadan Oblast (Susumansky District), Far Eastern Federal District, Russia.

The Ust-Nera - Magadan tract of the R504 Kolyma Highway crosses the plateau from northwest to southeast. There are gold placers in certain spots of the Nera Plateau.
