Frederick Rumball Nicholls (born October 11, 1950) is a former Canadian politician who sat in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2011 to 2022. He represented the riding of Chatham-Kent—Leamington.

Nicholls was originally a member of the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party before he was removed by Doug Ford in 2021 due to refusing a vaccine. In December 2021, he joined the Ontario Party, becoming its first and only member in the legislature until losing his seat in the 2022 election.
