Nightmare Cafe is a short-lived American telefantasy program which aired on NBC for an abridged first season from January to April 1992.

A total of six episodes were produced before low ratings led to its cancellation. The series has subsequently been shown on the Sci Fi Channel as part of their Series Collection. The series began showing on NBC Universal's horror and suspense-themed cable channel, Chiller in March 2009..
