Nick Nelson is one of the two protagonists in the Alice Oseman graphic novel series Heartstopper as well as its 2022 Netflix adaptation, where he is portrayed by Kit Connor.

Nick Nelson is the boyfriend of Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) in the graphic novel series Heartstopper and its 2022 Netflix adaptation.

[3] Sometime before the events of Heartstopper, he became a talented rugby player, his parents split up, his brother moved out, and he got a dog named Nellie and later, Henry.

[8] Madison Diaz of CBR praised the character's kind attitude writing "Throughout the show, Nick does struggle with his internal battle of understanding what his sexuality might be, but he remains transparent with Charlie at each step."

[10] Hannah Mackenzie of Teen Vogue praised the character's pride in his bisexuality, stating "That’s why seeing a main character voice and name their bisexuality proudly, despite the erasure he faces, feels so important — especially in a show aimed at young people who may be grappling with complicated feelings about their own sexualities".
