William Patteson Nicholson (1876-1962 [ [http://www.ravenhill.org/nicholson.htm Billy Nicholson] ] ) was a Pentecostal preacher born in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland.

Nicknamed "the Tornado of the Pulpit" [ [http://www.pentecostalpioneers.org/W.P..html W.P. Nicholson] ] , Nicholson spent his early years on his father's cargo ship. He began to preach Christianity in 1899 at the age of 23 and was known for his "men-only" meetings. Nicholson used straightforward language which communicated to the common man.

In the Belfast shipyard of Harland & Wolff, a shed, named "the Nicholson shed", was erected to house stolen tools that newly converted workers were returning as a result of Nicholson's preaching.
