Nestier (; ) is a French commune located in the department of Hautes-Pyrénées, in the region Occitanie. Historically, Nestier fell under the administration of Gascony.

Its history is marked by the following periods: the prehistory with the remains of the Neanderthal cave of the "Cap de la Bielle"; Modern era with two central characters: François de Saint-Paul and Louis de Cazaux, Lords de Nestier, the first large army officer of Louis XIV and Governor of the "Val de Aran", the second large master of the Cavalry School of Versailles and squire Cavalcadour of Louis XV; the post-revolutionary period: Nestier is then chief town of canton and sees the construction of the devotional site called "Calvaire du Mont-Arès"; the contemporary period with the reconstruction of the calvary registered with the inventory of the historical monuments and the realization of an organic swim.
