Homesdale Carl Nitschke (also known as "Jack" or "Slinger") (14 April 1905 in Adelaide, South Australia - 29 September 1982 in North Adelaide, South Australia) was an Australian and South Australia cricketer.
He only played in two Tests against South Africa in Brisbane and Sydney in 1931 and could probably be considered unlucky to have arrived at his best years at the same time as cricketing greats such as Don Bradman, Bill Ponsford, Bill Woodfull, Archie Jackson, Stan McCabe and Alan Kippax.
He had far more impressive statistics in domestic first-class cricket where he scored 3,320 runs at an average of 42.03, including nine centuries.
