Nérac (French pronunciation: ​[neʁak]; Occitan: Nerac) is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France. The composer and organist Louis Raffy was born in Nérac, as well as the former Arsenal and Bordeaux footballer Marouane Chamakh.

Nérac was visited by author Joanne Harris as a child, and was influential in the setting of her best-known novel, Chocolat.[2]
