Nicolas Schmit (born 10 December 1953) is a Luxembourgish politician serving as European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights since 2019.

A member of the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP), he was the EU-wide Spitzenkandidat of the centre-left PES at the 2024 EU elections.

In 1979, Schmit started his political and diplomatic career as an attaché in the Prime Minister's office in Luxembourg, followed by the Foreign Ministry.

In January 2011, Xavier Bettel claimed that Schmit exerted undue influence on the Grand Ducal Police to drop charges against his 18-year-old son the previous month.

Schmit denied that his assistance of his son amounted to undue influence, saying that his "conscience is clear".
