Nancy Erickson is an American political aide who served as the 32nd Secretary of the United States Senate from 2007 to 2015.

Erickson was appointed by Democratic and Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

She also served as the deputy chief of staff to former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle.

On January 6, 2009, Erickson rejected Roland Burris's request to be seated as the junior U.S. senator from Illinois.

White refused to sign because the appointment was made by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was charged in a corruption scandal with seeking to personally gain from the appointment.
