Andrés Nicolás "Nico" Olivera (born 30 May 1978 in Montevideo) is an Uruguayan footballer who plays for Defensor Sporting Club as a forward.
After excelling as a youngster at his first professional club, Defensor Sporting Club, Olivera moved to Spain and signed for Valencia CF, in January 1998. He was rarely used by the Che during his five-month spell, but went on to spend the vast majority of the following seven years in the country, starting off with Sevilla FC with which he achieved two La Liga promotions, in 1999 and 2001, scoring 21 goals in 56 games in those seasons combined.
In 2002, Olivera left Andalusia and joined fellow league side Real Valladolid. After one single season he returned to Segunda División and signed with Córdoba CF, returning to Defensor afterwards.
Olivera then played five months with another Spanish team Albacete Balompié (only four games, top division relegation), returning subsequently to his previous club. In 2006 the 28-year-old moved to Mexico, going on to represent five sides in the country, including Puebla F.C. twice.
On 1 August 2010, in a league match against Club San Luis, Olivera opened the scoring within a few seconds, after knocking in a rebound from Mario Ortiz's speculative shot in an eventual 2–1 home win.
