Meredith Nicholson (1866 – 1947) was a best-selling author from Indiana, United States, a politician, and a diplomat. Largely self-taught, Nicholson began a newspaper career in 1884 at the Indianapolis Sentinel. He moved to the Indianapolis News the following year, where he remained until 1897. He wrote Short Flights in 1891, and continued to publish extensively, both poetry and prose until 1928.
