Nicolas Walter (1924 — 2000 March 7) was a British journalist, philosopher, atheist, anarchist.

His passion for accuracy and a loathing of waffle led him to fire off vast numbers of letters to the press; a few years before his death, he estimated that he had had over 2,000 published.

Walter was a founding member of the Committee of 100 and Spies for Peace. A founder of the Vietnam Action Group, he was imprisoned for two months for interrupting Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who was reading the lesson at a Brighton church in 1966.

Nicolas Walter was active despite contracting cancer at age 30; he managed a demanding paraplegic life in central London, daring motorists to ignore his manual wheelchair as he shot across busy roads.
