Anthony William ("Nick") Winter (25 August 1894 – 6 May or 7 May 1955) was an Australian athlete, who was born in Brocklesby, New South Wales. He competed for Australia in the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris, France, where he won the gold medal in the men's triple jump.

After a special trial, in 1928 Winter was included in the team for the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, but did not qualify for the final of the triple jump. In January 1930 he won the event at the national championships in Sydney, clearing only 47 ft. 3 ins. (14.4 m); he took second place in 1932, shortly before retiring from competition. A heavy drinker for several years, he died from carbon monoxide poisoning at his Pagewood home on or about 6 May 1955; the coroner returned an open finding.
