Embodiments of immunogens comprising a recombinant Nipah virus (NiV) F ectodomain trimer stabilized in a prefusion conformation are provided. Also provided are embodiments of immunogens comprising chimeric proteins comprising the recombinant NiV F ectodomain trimer and one or more G ectodomains, a multimer of NiV G ectodomains, and protein nanoparticles comprising the recombinant NiV F ectodomain trimer or an NiV G ectodomain. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the immunogens and methods of their production. Methods for inducing an immune response in a subject by administering a disclosed immunogen to the subject are also provided. In some embodiments, the immune response treats or inhibits NiV infection in a subject.
