band, who were on stage at the Bataclan Theatre when the gunmen attacked, are up against U2 in the international group category.
After their Brit Awards nomination was announced, Eagles Of Death Metal tweeted: "We are speechless. #BRITs Gigantic thanks to the @brits and to you all."
Frontman Jesse Hughes also tweeted his thanks, saying the nomination was "so amazing".
The band made a surprise return to Paris last month, joining U2 on stage for an encore and performing the Patti Smith song People Have The Power.
130 people murdered in the shootings were at the Bataclan concert theatre.
The other 41 who died were in bars, cafes and restaurants.
The Californian band, who were hiding when the gunmen were carrying out their killings, later visited the venue to lay flowers.
They said they wanted to return to perform and finish their show and they have since announced they will be performing at the Olympia Theatre in Paris on 16 February.
