Nicholas Ross Boulton (born 22 March 1979) is a South African-born English cricketer. He was born in Johannesburg,but has played all his important cricket in England.

He made scores of 1 and 14,and immediately returned to the seconds,where he spent two and a half more frustrating years.
For the 2000 season,Boulton moved to Worcestershire,but again he could not force his way into the first team. The following summer was a different story he played five List A games in May alone.

He did play another two one-day and four first-class games that season,but in none of them did he produce the sizeable scores he had made in the second team,and Worcestershire released him at the end of the year.
