Nichole Lorraine Overall is an Australian politician. She was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly at the 2022 Monaro state by-election but was subsequently unseated by Steve Whan on 25 March 2023.[2] She was returned to the Parliament of New South Wales to fill a casual vacancy created by outgoing MLC Sam Farraway.

Overall studied communications at the University of Canberra before becoming writer, social historian and small business owner. For a number of years she has been a columnist with Canberra CityNews and is also a presenter with Canberra radio station 2CC. Her husband, Tim Overall, was a councillor and mayor on Queanbeyan City Council.[3] In 2021 Overall was chosen as the National Party candidate for the Monaro by-election caused by party leader John Barilaro's resignation.[4] She won the by-election on 12 February 2022[3] and served for just over a year as Member for Monaro until her defeat at the 2023 New South Wales state election.[5]

On the 5th of December 2024, Nichole was successful in fulfilling a casual vacancy in the New South Wales Legislative Council replacing outgoing MLC Sam Farraway.
