Marie-Claude Nichols (born December 5, 1973) is a Canadian politician born in Terrebonne, Quebec.
Nichols was elected mayor of Notre-Dame-de-l'ÃÂle-Perrot in 2009 unseating incumbent mayor Serge Roy. She was re-elected unopposed in the 2013 election. She was mayor of the Montreal suburb for nearly 5 years.
Nichols was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2014 election. She represents the electoral district of Vaudreuil.
She was re-elected MNA for Vaudreuil in 2018 despite a historic defeat for her party. However, her majority declined considerably, from 20,512 votes to 2,765. She was re-elected in the 2022 election, by a slim 576 vote margin.
Shortly after being elected as a Liberal in 2022, she was expelled from caucus by party leader Dominique Anglade on October 27, 2022, for refusing the transport critic role. After her expulsion, she announced she would sit as an independent. On May 2, 2025, she formally endorsed Pablo Rodriguez for the 2025 Quebec Liberal leadership. Shortly after Rodriguez's win, she formally rejoined the Liberal caucus on June 19, 2025, after two and a half years sitting as an independent.
