Julius Nepos (Latin: Iulius Nepos, death 9 May 480) was a Western Roman emperor from 24 June 474 – 28 August 475 (in Italy) and 28 August 475 – 9 May 480 (in Dalmatia).

Romulus Augustus is recognised as the last ruler of the Western Roman Empire.

After being deposed by a Roman General Orestes he retreated to Dalmatia where he continued to claim the western imperial title and was continued to be recognised by the Eastern Roman Empire until he was murdered in 480.
