Nicole Bricq (French pronunciation: ​[ni.kɔl bʁik]; La Rochefoucauld, Charente, 10 June 1947 – 6 August 2017) was a member of the Senate of France, representing the Seine-et-Marne department. She received a degree in private law from Montesquieu University in 1970.

From 1972 on Bricq was a member of the Socialist Party. On 16 May 2012 she was appointed Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy in the government of Jean-Marc Ayrault. After the French legislative elections of June 2012, she was appointed Minister for Foreign Trade.^[1] She was replaced at the Ministry of Ecology by Delphine Batho. Whereas some members of the government, such as Cécile Duflot, considered this nomination like a promotion, many^{[according to whom?]} felt that it was due to the decision taken by Bricq to stop all drilling contracts signed with Shell in French Guiana, a decision that has been reversed since then.^{[citation needed]}

Bricq was one of the earliest supporters of Emmanuel Macron and his party, La République En Marche!, instead of supporting Socialist Party candidate, Benoît Hamon.^[2]

On 6 August 2017, Bricq died in hospital in Poitiers after an accidental fall.^[3]
