Kelly Nichols (born June 8, 1959) is a former adult film actress.

Nichols was born in Covina, California. The oldest of five children, she began nude modeling to pay her way through the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, after high school. She played small roles in regular Hollywood films, such as the Toolbox Murders, and was Jessica Lange's double in the 1976 remake of King Kong.

After meeting William Margold and Chuck Vincent, Nichols began her career in the adult film industry with the 1979 movie That Lucky Stiff. She starred in over 50 adult features, and has been awarded the Best Actress Award by the Adult Film Association of America for her work in the 1983 film In Love. In 1993 she was presented with a Life Time Achievement Award by the Free Speech Coalition and in 1996 she was inducted into the Erotic Legends Hall of Fame.

Nichols began taking non-sexual roles in adult films during the 1990s and 2000s. Currently she is a make-up artist for the adult film industry, and is working on writing and producing her own line of videos. Nichols resides in southern California with her two children.
