In this paper we study ergodic measures of intermediate entropy for affine transformations of nilmanifolds. We prove that if an affine transformation $ \tau $ of nilmanifold has a periodic point, then for every $ a\in[0, h_{top}(\tau)] $ there exists an ergodic measure $ \mu_a $ of $ \tau $ such that $ h_{\mu_a}(\tau) = a $.
