"Nuda" (English: "Naked") is a song recorded by Italian singer Mina for her 1976 album Singolare. Don Backy wrote the song, and Pino Presti did the arrangement. In May 1976 the song was released as a single and peaked at number 6, having stayed on the Italian chart for 17 weeks in total.

The B-side of the single was the song "Colpa mia"(English: "My Fault"), written by Gian Pieretti, Roberto Soffici and Simon Luca. It was used as the theme song of the radio program Gran varietà. On 18 June 1976 Mina performed the song in a musical show Dal Ticino con simpatia on the RSI TV channel, which was broadcast from the Lugano Congress Palace with the participation of Italian musicians living in Switzerland. It was one of her last television appearances.[3]
