Nic Endo (born January 7, 1976) is a Japanese-German-American (Mother Japanese, Father German, born in Texas) noise musician who played with the German digital hardcore group Atari Teenage Riot.

She lived in Frankfurt from 1994 to 1996 and later moved to Berlin.

Nic Endo joined ATR while they were on tour in 1997 and was involved with the production of their final album 60 Second Wipe Out.

After ATR effectively broke-up in 2000, Endo released an experimental solo album entitled Cold Metal Perfection. Released by Fatal Recordings, an explicitly feminist offshoot of Digital Hardcore Recordings, Cold Metal Perfection was named as one of the top 20 albums of 2001 by Alternative Press.

In 2001 Endo assisted in the production of Alec Empire's solo album, Intelligence and Sacrifice. She has also since been a part of Empire's touring band, and was also involved with his follow-up album Futurist (2005).

Her trademark is her black leather and white face paint overlaid by the Japanese characters 抵抗 (teikō), meaning "resistance".
