George Nicolls (c.1884 – 11 May 1942) was an Irish politician and solicitor. In the lead-up to the Easter Rising, a rebel plan for Galway town was prepared at Nicolls' house at 2 University Road. He was arrested in Galway on Easter Tuesday before the town Volunteers could be mobilised. He spent most of the period from 1916 to 1921 in prison in England. He was first elected at the 1921 elections for the Galway constituency as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) to the 2nd Dáil while still imprisoned. In January 1922, he was appointed Assistant Minister for Home Affairs in the Government of the 2nd Dáil.
