Lance Lee Nichols (born July 25, 1939) is an American former catcher, manager, farm system official and scout in professional baseball. Nichols threw and batted right-handed. He stood tall and weighed as an active player.
Nichols was born in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Lyndon, Kansas, High School and played baseball, basketball and football at Emporia State University, before signing his first pro baseball contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1961.

After five seasons as the baseball coach at Dodge City High School, Nichols returned to the professional ranks as a manager in the farm systems of the Montreal Expos, St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles, reaching the Triple-A level with the New Orleans Pelicans in 1977 and the Rochester Red Wings in 1982–1983. His record as a manager was 768–819 (.484) over 12 seasons (1972–1983).
