Nickolas Perry (born December 3, 1967) is an American writer, film director, editor, and photographer who worked as a camera assistant and assistant director in San Francisco before becoming Francis Ford Coppola’s editing assistant on Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

In 1994 Perry moved to Los Angeles and began writing screenplays and directing short films. One of his short films, Must Be the Music, starring Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Saucedo as gay teens on a Friday night out in Los Angeles, premiered at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and was later distributed as part of Strand Releasing's Boys Life 2. The film got the attention of director Gus Van Sant, who would go on to executive produce Perry's first feature film, Speedway Junky.

Perry wrote and directed Speedway Junky in 1999. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and starred Daryl Hannah, Jesse Bradford, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. In 2004, Perry co-wrote, co-directed, and edited The Hunting of the President, a feature documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Perry is a member of the Directors Guild of America and a member of the Non-Fiction Writers Caucus at the Writers Guild of America. He works as a script doctor and as a consultant on low-budget features, advising first-time directors on independent film completion, distribution, and marketing.
