Nicholas James "Nick" Culkin (born July 6, 1978 in York, North Yorkshire) is a journeyman former English football goalkeeper.
He played for many clubs, and most notably signed for Manchester United in September 1995, though he only ever played once as a substitute in a league match, replacing Raimond van der Gouw in stoppage time against Arsenal at Highbury on August 22, 1999. He was on the field in that game for a grand total of 2 minutes. He was also loaned to Hull City and Livingston. Overall he played 93 league matches, 3 FA Cup matches, and 7 league cup matches. He also played for a total of 6 clubs: York City, Manchester United, Hull City, Bristol Rovers, Livingston and Queens Park Rangers. Although, Culkin had to retire from football in 2005 due to a longstanding knee injury.

Culkin's first Manchester United match was in their Scandinavian tour, which was before the 1997/1998 season. He came on at half-time for Manchester United's first choice goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel. Culkin kept a clean sheet against Norwegian team S.K. Brann, where Manchester United won 4-0.
