Nudgee Beach is a suburb and beach in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Nudgee Beach had a population of 308 people.

The suburb is 17.9 kilometres (11 mi) north-west of the Brisbane central business district. The suburb is bounded to the north-east by Moreton Bay, to the south-west by Kedron Brook (27°22′23″S 153°06′23″E / 27.3731°S 153.1065°E / -27.3731; 153.1065 (Kedron Brook)), to the south-west by the Gateway Motorway, and to the north-west by Nundah Creek (27°20′09″S 153°05′01″E / 27.3357°S 153.0836°E / -27.3357; 153.0836 (Nundah Creek)). Directly to the south is Brisbane Airport.

Nudgee Creek rises in Nudgee to the west and meanders through Nudgee Beach where it enters Moreton Bay at 27°20′34″S 153°05′39″E / 27.3429°S 153.0941°E / -27.3429; 153.0941 (Nudgee Creek mouth).
