Archibald Keightley Nicholson (1871-1937) was an English 20th century ecclesiastical stained-glass maker. His father was Charles Nicholson and his two brothers, Charles and Sidney, were a church architect and church musician respectively. He designed the rose window of the south transept at Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury, along with a 1932 window dedicated to St Stephen Harding in the Musicians' Chapel at St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, both in London. The latter church also contains a Memorial Window to him, by Gerald E.R. Smith, with the following inscription:

"To the glory of God. In memory of Archibald Keightley Nicholson, Master Glass Painter, who worshipped at this church. This window is designed and carried out by the craftsmen of his studios as a thank offering for his life and friendship. 1871 - 1937."

He also designed a window at St John the Baptist, Wonersh.[1] The east window there is his earliest work - it is dated 1902, shows Christ with St George and St Alban (it was commissioned in memory of two soldiers, hence the military saints) - and he also produced its two smaller windows in the north wall depicting the Madonna & Child and the Annunciation.
