Daiyehan Nichols-Bardi (born 13 March 2001) is a Nigerian-born Austrian bobsledder. He represented Austria at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Nichols-Bardi began his sports career in track and field, where he was a sprinter for the Union St. Pölten club. During this time he participated in the 2018 European Athletics U18 Championships. Nichols-Bardi was considered a strong hope to be a leading sprinter for Austria, but after a disappointing season in 2020/21, Nicholas-Bardi decided to leave athletics, and instead turn to bobsleigh.
Nichols-Bardi began competing in bobsleigh at the end of 2021, pushing for the team of Jakob Mandlbauer. In 2022, Nichols-Bardi earned a silver and bronze medal in four-man and two-man, respectively, in the Under-23 Junior World Championships pushing for Mandlbauer. In 2023, the team earned silver in the four-man in the same event. In 2024, he earned a silver medal pushing for Mandlbauer in the Junior European Championships.
Nichols-Bardi was selected to represent Austria at the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he pushed for Jakob Mandlbauer in both two-man and four-man. In two-man, the team finished 21st. In four-man, the team crashed during their second run, and did not finish the event.
