Nygränd (Swedish: New Alley) is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden, connecting Skeppsbron to Österlånggatan.

Until the early 1520s, a fish market (Fisketorget, "The Fisherman's Square") was located between the site of the present alley and the alley south of it, Brunnsgränd, the square at the time forming a natural continuation to Köpmangatan ("The Merchant's Street"), the street leading east from the central square Stortorget.

One of the old town's most elaborate portals is found on 2, Nygränd.
