Nicole Joraanstad (pronounced /ˈdʒɔrənstɛd/; born November 10, 1980 in Seattle, Washington) is an American curler from Madison, Wisconsin. She currently plays third for Allison Pottinger.

At the 2000 World Junior Curling Championships, Joraanstad played third for Laura Delaney and won a bronze medal for team USA. The following year, Joraanstad skipped her own team to a seventh place finish.

Joraanstad would later join up with Patti Lank as her second, and USA finished in fourth place at the 2004 Ford World Curling Championships.

Joraanstad left Lank's team and joined up with Debbie McCormick. Team USA won a silver medal at the 2006 Ford World Women's Curling Championship losing to Sweden (skipped by Anette Norberg) in the final.[1]

At the 2007 Aomori World Championships, Joraanstad and Debbie McCormick's Team USA lost to Scotland in the semi-final and took 4th place.

At the 2008 Women's National Championships in Hibbing, Minnesota, Joraanstad won her third straight national championship while playing for Debbie McCormick. Team McCormick was first team to ever win three consecutive U.S. national titles. At the 2008 Vernon World Championships, Joraanstad and Debbie McCormick's Team USA finished 6-5 after round-robin play and did not advance to the playoff round.

On June 4, 2008, Nicole received the Madison Sports Hall of Fame Club 2008 Sportswoman of the Year Award.
