The '''Nuremberg Code''' ({{langx|de|Nürnberger Kodex}}) is a set of [[research ethics|ethical research]] principles for [[human experimentation]] created by the court in ''[[Doctors' trial|U.S. v Brandt]]'', one of the [[Subsequent Nuremberg trials]] that were held after the [[World War II|Second World War]].

Though it was articulated as part of the court's verdict in the trial, the Code would later become significant beyond its original context; in a review written on the 50th anniversary of the ''Brandt'' verdict, [[Jay Katz]] writes that "a careful reading of the judgment suggests that [the authors] wrote the Code for the practice of human experimentation whenever it is being conducted."<ref name="katz96" />
