Christiana Hely-Hutchinson, 1st Baroness Donoughmore (née Nickson) (d. 24 June 1788) was a suo jure hereditary peer; as a lady, however, she was unable to sit in the Irish House of Lords.

She married Rt. Hon. John Hely-Hutchinson (1724–1794) MP, son of Francis Hely of Gertrough, by his spouse Prudence née Earbury, on 8 June 1751. They had four children:
- Lt.-Gen. Richard Hely-Hutchinson, 1st Earl of Donoughmore (1756–1825)
- General John Hely-Hutchinson, 2nd Earl of Donoughmore (1757–1832)
