Nyaaringu is the debut studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Miiesha, released digitally on 29 May 2020. Following its physical release in August 2020, the album peaked at number 28 on the ARIA charts.
Speaking about the album, Miiesha said "Nyaaringu is a collection of stories that I feel I wanted to tell or that I needed to speak on. For me it represents my journey and where I'm at now coming from Woorabinda. The interludes in the collection are recordings of my Grandmother speaking. For me she was and always will stay with me as the strongest voice in my life, so I felt she had to be a part of this with me." Nyaaringu is a phrase meaning "what happened" in the Pitjantjatjara language.
At the National Indigenous Music Awards 2020, the album was nominated for Album of the Year. At the 2020 ARIA Music Awards it won Best Soul/R&B Release.
