Nina Holden is a Norwegian mathematician interested in probability theory and stochastic processes, including graphons, random planar maps, the Schramm–Loewner evolution, and their applications to quantum gravity.

[4] She competed in 2005 in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where she earned an honorable mention with one of the two top scores on the Norwegian team.

[1] After three years of work as an energy market analyst, she went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate study,[1][4] and completed her Ph.D. there in 2018.

[1] Her dissertation, Cardy embedding of random planar maps and a KPZ formula for mated trees, was supervised by Scott Sheffield.

[7] In 2023, she was a recipient of the Rollo Davidson Prize,[8] and in the following year, she was awarded the EMS Prize "for her profound contributions to probability theory and its applications to statistical physics, including results linking Liouville quantum gravity, the Schramm-Loewner evolution, and random triangulations".
