Nicolas Kiesa (born March 3, 1978 in Copenhagen) is a former Formula One driver from Denmark. He participated in 5 grands prix, debuting on August 3, 2003. He scored no championship points, but finished all his races - unusual for a rookie driver.

Before that, he infamously won the 2003 Formula 3000 race at Monaco, when Björn Wirdheim slowed on the last lap on the front straight to greet his team.

He returned to Formula One in 2005, replacing Robert Doornbos as Jordan's third driver for the German Grand Prix and beyond.
