The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) is a scientific instrument installed on the Hubble Space Telescope, operating from 1997 to the present day.

NICMOS was installed on Hubble during its second servicing mission in 1997, when two previous spectrograph instruments were replaced by the STIS.
