Nemonapride, also previously known as emonapride and sold under the brand name Emilace, is an atypical antipsychotic which is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It is taken by mouth.

Side effects of nemonapride include akathisia, dystonia, hypokinesia, tremor, hypersalivation, and hyperprolactinemia, among others. The drug acts as a dopamine D2, D3, and D4 receptor antagonist. To a lesser extent, it is also a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist. Structurally, nemonapride is a benzamide derivative and is related to sulpiride and other benzamides.
