Nicholas Ball (1791 - 19 January 1865) was a nineteenth-century Irish barrister. During Lord Melbourne's second government he served as Attorney-General for Ireland from 11 July 1838 to 23 February 1839.
Ball was the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Irish constituency of Clonmel between 1836 and his appointment as a Judge in 1839.
When Ball was appointed as a judge of the Irish Court of Common Pleas, he was only the second Roman Catholic since the reign of James II to be appointed a judge in Ireland.
He lived for many years in No 75, St Stephen's Green, Dublin.
Ball was the eldest son of John Ball, a silk mercer of Dublin. On 30 Oct. 1870, Nicholas Ball married Jane Sherlock, daughter of Thomas Sherlock and his wife Jane Mansfield of Butlerstown, Waterford, Ireland. Ball's daughter, Jane Isabella, married Henry Edward Doyle, director of the National Gallery of Ireland, and uncle of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Ball's son, John, was a Liberal politician and a noted naturalist.
