John Nicholas D.D. was an English academic administrator at the University of Oxford.

Nicholas was elected Warden (head) of New College, Oxford, in 1675, a post he held until 1679.[1] During his time as Warden of New College, he was also Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1677 until 1679.[2][3]

He was elected warden of Winchester College in 1679, a post he held until his death.[4] He extended and adapted buildings around Winchester College. He had its Chapel decorated with fine oak panelling in 1680–1683.[5] Soon afterwards, in 1683–1687, he had the building called "School" constructed in the English baroque Wren style.[6]
