Nicole Rebecca Seah Xue Ling (Chinese: 佘雪玲; pinyin: Shé Xuě Líng, born 17 October 1986) is a Singaporean politician and was the National Solidarity Party (NSP) candidate for the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (Marine Parade GRC) in the 2011 Singaporean general election. At 24, she was the youngest female candidate standing in the election and immediately became a target of media attention, which became increasingly pronounced as her speeches began to go viral on YouTube. During the election, she was described as the second most popular politician online, after Lee Kuan Yew. On 25 August 2014, Seah resigned from the NSP, stating that "For myself, this is not a complete departure from politics."
Nicole Seah is a Peranakan, she used to stay five-room HDB flat with her parents and two brothers, when she was introduced as the youngest candidate in 2011 election. In August 2015, Nicole was married in a ceremony at the Registry of Marriages.
In November 2013, news site AsiaOne and newspaper Lianhe Wanbao issued an apology to Seah after they had inaccurately suggested that Seah was dating a married man. The man she had uploaded a photograph of her with CEO of social site mig33 Steven Goh, is actually divorced. Seah noted via Facebook that she had threatened to sue. Seah and Goh have since split up.
Seah studied at CHIJ Katong Convent, Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Victoria Junior College. She graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science (Hons) degree from the Department of Communications and New Media at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where she was also part of the University Scholars' Programme. She works as an executive at Starcom MediaVest Group, a brand communications company.
