Nanase Nishino (西野 七瀬 Nishino Nanase?, born May 25, 1994 in Osaka Prefecture) is a Japanese idol singer, model and a member of the Japanese idol girl group Nogizaka46.
In 2011, she auditioned for Nogizaka46 and was selected as one of the 36 first generation members. She was chosen as one of the select members for their debut song Guruguru Curtain released on February 22, 2012. On November 8, 2012, she made her model debut walking the runway at GirlsAward 2012 Autumn/Winter with Mai Shiraishi, who is also a member of Nogizaka46.
She was selected as the choreographic center for the first time for their 8th single Kizuitara Kataomoi, which was released on April 2, 2014. Her first solo song Hitoriyogari was included in the Nogizaka46's first album Tōmei na Iro that was released on January 7, 2015.

Once she lost the position, she came back to the center for the group's 11th single, Inochi wa Utsukushii, which was released on March 18, 2015.
