Nicolas Touzaint (born 10 May 1980 in Angers) is a French professional horserider specialising in three-day eventing. He was born into a family already known for its performance in equestrianism: his father, Jean-Yves Touzaint, was champion of France eventing in 1975 and 1976. His uncle, Thierry Touzaint, is a national coach in the same discipline.

On 4 May 2008 he became the first Frenchman to win the Badminton Horse Trials.[citation needed]

In 2024, he received a yellow card from the FEI for "Abuse of Horse - Excessive use of whip, bit and/or spurs" for his actions at the Marbach Horse Trials.[1]
