Nica's Tempo is an album by Gigi Gryce recorded in 1955. The title track is a reference to Nica de Koenigswarter (born Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild) a.k.a. "The Bebop Baroness" or "The Jazz Baroness", a patron of jazz musicians such as Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker.

The album was originally issued as Gigi Gryce Quartet And Orchestra (Signal S 1201). The Signal masters were later acquired by Savoy Records, who reissued this album in 1958.[2]
