Nicholas Baker (born 13 February 1985) is an Australian world champion lightweight rower. He won a gold medal at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled with the lightweight men's eight.[1]

Raised in Tasmania, Baker's senior club rowing was from the Lindisfarne Rowing Club in Hobart.

In 2008 Baker was selected to represent Tasmania in the men's lightweight four contesting the Penrith Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships.[2] Such was the depth of Tasmanian lightweight rowing during Baker's peak years, that in 2010 and 2011 when he was in the Australian lightweight eight, he was unable to secure a seat in the Tasmanian state lightweight four.[3]

In Lindisfarne club colours he contested the Australian men's lightweight pair title at the 2008 Australian Rowing Championships.[2]
