Nonlocal correlations in multipartite quantum systems are typically probed through Bell inequalities with only a few measurement settings, limiting the sensitivity of existing tests. Here we introduce a generalization of the Mermin inequality to an arbitrarily large number of measurement settings per party. This family of inequalities is maximally violated by Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and substantially lowers the noise thresholds required to certify nonlocality and nonlocality depth. We further derive Bell inequalities capable of detecting genuine multipartite entanglement in broad classes of graph states. Finally, we discuss prospects for experimental implementations of these inequalities in state-of-the-art quantum platforms. Together, these advances expand the toolbox for probing the structure of quantum correlations and strengthen practical routes toward certifying entanglement in complex quantum systems.
