Graydon Nicholas ONB is the 30th and current Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.

A member of the Maliseet nation, Nicholas was born on the Tobique Indian Reserve. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from St. Francis Xavier University and, in 1971, a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of New Brunswick, becoming the first First Nations person in Atlantic Canada to earn a law degree. He then obtained a Master of Social Work degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in 1974.

Returning to New Brunswick, he worked for the Union of New Brunswick Indians, serving as its Chairman of the Board (1976-1980) and President (1980-1988).

He was appointed a provincial court judge in 1991.

In September 2009, he was named the next Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick on the advice of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, on the suggestion of Premier Shawn Graham. He succeeded Herménégilde Chiasson on September 30, 2009.
