Spikenard (Nardostachys grandiflora; also called nard, nardin, and muskroot) is a flowering plant of the Valerian (plant) family that grows in the Himalayas of China, India and Nepal. The plant grows to about 1 m in height and has pink, bell-shaped flowers. Spikenard rhizomes (underground stems) can be crushed and distilled into an intensely aromatic amber-colored essential oil, which is very thick in consistency. Nard oil is used as a perfume, an incense, a sedative, and an herbal medicine said to fight insomnia, birth difficulties, and other minor ailments.

Lavender (genus Lavandula) was also known by the ancient Greeks as naardus, nard, after the Syrian city Naarda.

The oil was known in ancient times and was part of the Ayurvedic herbal tradition of India. It was obtained as a luxury in ancient Ancient Egypt, the Near East, and Ancient Rome, where it was the main ingredient of the perfume nardinium. Pliny's Natural History lists twelve species of "nard", identifiable with varying assurance, in a range from lavender stoechas and tuberous valerian to true nard, (in modern terms Nardostachys jatamansi).

Nard is mentioned twice in the biblical love poem, the Song of Solomon (1:12 and 4:13). In Gospel of Mark 14:3 and Gospel of John 12:3, Mary, sister of Lazarus uses nard ointment to Anointing of Jesus the head and the feet of Jesus. Earlier in Jesus' ministry (Gospel of Luke 7:37-50), an unnamed "sinful" woman also anoints him with costly perfume in an alabaster jar, which indicates that was most likely nard. A jar of spikenard in their society was very expensive--"worth a year's wages" (John 12:5).

Today, oil of spikenard is not used as widely as that of its many valerian relatives.
