We derive the Nahm construction of monopoles from exact tachyon condensationon unstable D-branes. The Dirac operator used in the Nahm construction isidentified with the tachyon profile in our D-brane approach, and we providephysical interpretation of the procedures Nahm gave. Crucial is theintroduction of infinite number of brane-antibranes from which arbitraryD-brane can be constrcuted, exhibitting a unified view of various D-branes. Weexplicitly show the equivalence of the D3-brane boundary state with themonopole profile and the D1-brane boundary state with the Nahm data astransverse scalars.Comment: 18 pages, 4 eps figures, JHEP style, comments about low energy limits added, references adde
