Nikolas Ferreira de Oliveira (born Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1996) is a Brazilian politician affiliated to the Liberal Party (PL).

[4][5] Ferreira has gained national notoriety due to the controversies he has been involved in, including defending negationist ideas,[6] opposing measures against the Covid-19 pandemic, giving speeches that are both transphobic[7] and discriminatory, spreading fake news (all of this according to Left Wing vision) , and supporting and encouraging coup demonstrations[8] as well as the attacks on the headquarters of the Three Powers in 2023.

[12][13] There is no explicit criminal classification for transphobia and homophobia in Brazil, but the Supreme Federal Court decided in 2019 that they are crimes under the Law of Racism.

[15][16] On March 8, 2023, International Women's Day, while serving as a federal congressman, Nikolas delivered a speech at the Chamber of Deputies podium with transphobic and anti-feminist statements.

[18][19][20] Federal congresswoman Erika Hilton, who is a trans woman, presented a petition in favor of revoking Nikolas' mandate, which collected 150,000 signatures within 24 hours.
