  • Nicholas Wood (1832 – 24 December 1892) was a British industrialist and Conservative Party politician. He was born in Killingworth, Northumberland, where his father, also Nicholas Wood, was a locomotive engineer.

In 1881 he married Edith Florence Jervis of Staffordshire. He was a justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant of County Durham. He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Houghton-le-Spring at the 1886 general election, having contested the seat unsuccessfully in 1885. He was defeated at the 1892 general election. He was believed to have been defeated by the votes of local miners who had been engaged in a lengthy strike and of Irish immigrants due to his opposition to Home Rule. He died from typhoid fever later that year in Half Moon Street, Piccadilly, London, aged 60. He was buried in the churchyard at Saltwood near Hythe, Kent on 29 December. (en)
