Nerežišća (Croatian pronunciation: [něreʒiːɕt͡ɕa]) is a village and a municipality on the island Brač in Croatia.

In the 2011 census, it had a total population of 862, in the following settlements:[3]

In the same census, 98.84% were Croats.[4]

In the past, Nerežišća was the capital of the island.[5] It was founded inside the island, not on its coast, because of fear of pirates marauding the Adriatic Sea. Once these pirates were eradicated by the Venetians, the locals started populating the settlements by the sea, especially Supetar and Sutivan, across the Brač Channel facing Split.
