Nearly God is the unofficial second album by English rapper and producer Tricky.[3] It was released in February 1996 under the pseudonym "Nearly God",[4] which originated from an interview during which Tricky was asked "so how does it feel to be God... well, nearly God."[5]

Described by Tricky as a compilation of exceptional yet unfinished demos, Nearly God was the result of a clause in his recording contract with Island Records, which allowed him to release an album once a year under a name other than his own.[3] According to Tricky, "I needed it to come out, but Island would never let me release two Tricky albums in the same year";[5] his official second album Pre-Millennium Tension was released in September 1996.[3]

An austerely produced trip hop record, Nearly God was well received by critics and featured collaborations between Tricky and artists such as Alison Moyet, Björk, Neneh Cherry, Terry Hall, and Martina Topley-Bird, who had worked with him on his previous album Maxinquaye (1995).[4]
