James Alastair Nichol (12 February 1932 – 22 November 2003) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
A scrum-half for Royal HSFP, Nichol was one of the fastest players in Scottish rugby at the time and possessed strong wrists, honed by his practise routine of using a ball filled with wet sand.
Nichol gained three Scotland caps during the 1955 Five Nations, scoring a try to help defeat Wales on his debut match at Murrayfield. He struggled for form the following season and did not receive any further opportunities.
