Nicholas Milliken is a Canadian politician who was elected in the 2019 Alberta general election to represent the electoral district of Calgary-Currie in the 30th Alberta Legislature.[1] Milliken defeated incumbent Brian Malkinson by a margin of less than 1% (191 votes).

Milliken was elected Deputy Chair of Committees in the Alberta Legislature on May 21, 2019.[2]

In July 2020 Milliken came under fire for, while sitting as Speaker, ejecting NDP member Marie Renaud out of the chamber during debate. Renaud noted that UCP members were bullying her while she was standing to speak to a bill. When Renaud refused to apologize for her comments, she was ejected. Milliken's impartiality was called into question since he focused the conflict on Renaud while failing to address the UCP members' behaviour.[3]
