Nicole Alicia Aiken-Pinnock (née Aiken; born 11 December 1985) is a Jamaican netball player. Pinnock started playing international representative netball as early as 2004,[1][2] although she made her senior debut in the Jamaican national team, the Sunshine Girls, at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.[3] In 2007, Pinnock received a four-year scholarship to play basketball with Lamar University in Texas,[4] where she played center for the Cardinals.[5] However, in 2008 it was reported that Pinnock had given up the scholarship and returned to her first college, G.C. Foster.[6]

Pinnock currently plays netball for the Sunshine Girls at international level, and for Clarendon Gators in the Berger Elite League. She captained the team to bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
