Victor Rylands Nicholson (25 August 1892 – 11 April 1946) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played one first-class match for Otago in 1914/15.[1]
Nicholson was educated at the Otago Boys' High School and Otago Medical School and worked as a surgeon at the Auckland Hospital.[2] In 1928, he moved to England to work as a surgeon in Coventry, returning to New Zealand in 1945, where he worked as the superintendent of the Nurse Cavell Memorial Hospital in Paparoa.[2][3] On 11 April 1946, Nicholson was travelling as a passenger in a truck from Pahi to Maungaturoto when the truck crashed into a creek near Maungaturoto. Another passenger managed to free the driver, but could not rescue Nicholson, who drowned in the truck.[3]
