Nina Arsenault (born January 20, 1974) is a Canadian performance artist, freelance writer, and former sex worker who works in theatre, dance, video, photography, and visual art.

[9] She also wrote her own one-woman show called The Silicone Diaries,[3] directed by Buddies in Bad Times artistic director Brendan Healy, which toured across Canada to sold-out houses and critical praise.

[12] She has also performed For Every Time You Shattered Me I Made Myself Again, a six-hour performance in the Henry Moore Sculpture Room at the Art Gallery of Ontario where she appeared in several different personas live and onscreen, dressing, undressing, and washing herself with a number of unspecified fluids in front of the audience.

Here, with UK artist Poppy Jackson, Arsenault performed rituals which explored feminine mythology as well as virtuality, including a trance-like dance which would often continue for six hours at a time.

During these dances she was repeatedly burned with cigarettes on her chest, neck, breasts, and occasionally above the genitals, appearing unaffected by pain.

Arsenault has been a frequent guest speaker at universities in Canada and the United States as well as conferences like Moses Znaimer's Ideacity.
