Nicholas de Lamotte (1755-1831), originally Antoine-Nicolas de la Motte (de Lamotte), was an 18th century Frenchman known for his part as a conman in the affair of the diamond necklace and as the husband of Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Remy. While he claimed to be a nobleman and gave himself the title of Comte (Count), his family's claim to nobility is dubious.

Comte Nicholas was portraited by Adrien Brody in the movie The Affair of the Necklace (2001).
