Sir Nicholas Proctor Goodison (born 16 May 1934) is a British businessman who was chairman of the London Stock Exchange from 1976–1986. He is an important supporter of the arts and the President of the Furniture History Society (FHS).[2]

Goodison was born in Watford, the son of Edmund Harold Goodison and Eileen Mary Carrington Proctor. He was educated at Marlborough College and then King's College, Cambridge.[3]

He served as chairman of the Courtauld Institute of Art from 1982 to 2002 and of the National Art Collections Fund (now The Art Fund) from 1986 to 2002.[4]

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 1 March 1987.[5]

His portrait in oil, by Tom Phillips, is in the Stock Exchange's collection.[4] A preparatory sketch made in oil on panel in 2006 was acquired from the artist by the Art Fund and is in the Courtauld Gallery.[6]
