Nicole Henriot Schweitzer(25 November 1925 – 4 February 2001) was a French classical pianist.

In 1939, she won third prize in the Gabriel Fauré competition at Luxembourg city (after Georges Farago and Ginette Doyen,) and began her career after the Second World War.

In 1958 she married Vice-Admiral Jean-Jacques Schweitzer (1920-1993). This former navy major general was also one of theologian Albert Schweitzer's nephews and the uncle of senior official Louis Schweitzer; by his mother, Emma Münch, he was the nephew of conductor Charles Münch. The following year, she had a son named Jean-Philippe Schweitzer.
