Margaret Mary Nichols (born September 12, 1997) is an American former collegiate artistic gymnast. She was the ninth NCAA gymnast to complete a Gym Slam,[1] the first to do so for Oklahoma,[2] and the first NCAA gymnast to have achieved it twice.

Previously, Nichols represented the United States in international competitions, including the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where she won a gold medal with the American team and an individual bronze medal on floor exercise.[3] At the USA Gymnastics National Championships, she was the bronze medalist in the all-around and on uneven bars and floor exercise in 2014 and the silver medalist in the all-around in 2015. Before a knee injury in early 2016, she was a contender for the U.S. women's gymnastics team at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[4]
