Nelly Maria Thüring (21 June 1875, in Vankiva – 2 January 1972, in Enskede), was a Swedish photographer and politician (Social Democrat).

Thüring was born the daughter of the farmer Nils Nilsson and Pernilla Persdotter in Vankiva, Sweden on 21 June 1875.

As an MP, Nelly Thüring focused on issues about international cooperation and the working conditions of female prison staff, and collaborated with other female MP:s on issues about a non-confessional school, child-and maternity care, and sexual education.

[3] In the 1920s, it was regarded as controversial by some for a woman to address sexual issues in public to a gender mixed audience, and initially, when such instances occurred, it was noted that some of the male MPs left the chamber in protest.
