Conrad Albinus Nervig (born 24 June 1889, Grant County, South Dakota, USA, died 26 November 1980, San Diego, California, USA) was an American film editor with 81 film credits.[1]

He started work in 1922 at Goldwyn Pictures, and stayed with this firm after its merger to form Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) in 1924. He spent essentially his entire career at MGM, retiring in 1954.[2][3]

Nervig was the first recipient of the Academy Award for Film Editing for the film Eskimo (1934). He won a second "Oscar" (shared with Ralph E. Winters) for the film King Solomon's Mines (1950). He was also nominated for his work on A Tale of Two Cities (1935).
