The Nicolet Seminary College (French: Séminaire de Nicolet) was a school in what is now Quebec. Founded in 1803 at the town of Nicolet, Lower Canada, it was the third institution providing a classical education in the province.

From 1826, the building of the Séminaire de Nicolet was planned by Jérôme Demers, working with architect Thomas Baillairgé.

The school closed in 1863.
