Leo Thomas Nimsick (January 26, 1908 – February 8, 1999) was a miner and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Cranbrook from 1949 to 1966 and Kootenay from 1966 to 1975 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as a Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and then New Democratic Party member.

He was born in Rossland, British Columbia, the son of Thomas Nimsick and Anna Caesar.[1] In 1934, he married Marie K. Zimmer.[1] Nimsick worked at diamond drilling and dairy farming; he later worked for Cominco for 40 years, retiring in 1968.[2] He served four years as an alderman for Rossland.[1] Nimsick ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1937.[3] He ran for the leadership of the CCF in 1956, coming second to Robert Strachan.[4] Nimsick later served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Mines and Petroleum and as Minister of Travel Industry.[5]

He died in 1999 at the age of 91.[6]
