Nicolas Kiesa (born 3 March 1978 in Copenhagen) is a racing driver from Denmark. He participated in five Formula One Grands Prix in the 2003 season. He scored no championship points, but finished all his races.

Before that, he won the 2003 Formula 3000 race at Monaco, when Björn Wirdheim slowed on the last lap on the front straight to greet his team.

He returned to Formula One in 2005, replacing Robert Doornbos as Jordan's third driver for the German Grand Prix and for the rest of the season.

Formula One

Kiesa drove for the Minardi team for five races in 2003, taking the seat vacated by Justin Wilson's move to Jaguar. He made his debut in the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, which he finished in 12th position. Kiesa finished all five races, his best finish being 11th in the USA Grand Prix at Indianapolis, but did not outqualify his teammate Jos Verstappen at any race.
