Let R be a ring and $Nil_*$(R) be the prime radical of R. In this paper, we say that a ring R is left $Nil_*$-coherent if $Nil_*$(R) is coherent as a left R-module. The concept is introduced as the generalization of left J-coherent rings and semiprime rings. Some properties of $Nil_*$-coherent rings are also studied in terms of N-injective modules and N-flat modules.
