Nick Wood (born 9 January 1983, Swindon) is an English rugby union footballer, currently playing in the Aviva Premiership for Gloucester Rugby. He plays as a prop.
Wood attended Radley College before joining Gloucester Rugby through their academy.

The loose-head prop was a regular on the bench during the 2003/04 campaign and made a handful of starts during the World Cup period. After a couple of consistent seasons, Wood is a regular in the first team. He made 20 starts and 6 substitute appearances during the 2006–07 season for Gloucester Rugby and he scored 1 try against Harlequins at Kingsholm. Wood played in the League final that season, losing to the Leicester Tigers.
On 12 January 2010, Wood signed a new contract with Gloucester Rugby to keep him at the club until at least 2013. On 2 April 2013, it was announced that he had signed a three-year contract extension to keep him at Gloucester until the end of the 2015–16 season.
In a September 2013 match against Saracens Wood was red carded with just 73 seconds played for stamping on Jacques Burger. It was the second fastest sending off in English Rugby history.
His performances for Gloucester Rugby earned him a call-up to the England U21s and he was an ever present during their successful Six Nations, as well as being a regular during the U21s World Championship. In March 2006, Wood made his debut for the England Saxons, against Ireland A.
