Nigel Briggs (born 14 September 1966 in Nottingham, UK) is a Christian songwriter and worship leader, who has written songs such as 'For Me', 'What a Love', 'Hold On', 'Unfailing Love' and 'Perfect Sacrifice' for use in Christian worship, which have been recorded and released through the Vineyard Records UK label.

In the summer of 1996, John and Debby Wright moved from SW London Vineyard to start a new Vineyard church (Trent Vineyard) in Nottingham. Over the previous 9 years they had helped start the first Vineyard church in the UK - SW London Vineyard under the leadership of John and Eleanor Mumford. Nigel serves as the worship pastor of Trent Vineyard.

When Nigel Briggs started writing he was mentored by Brian Doerksen, then head of the Vineyard UK branch, and as a result, Nigel's songs feature on several of the Vineyard albums, including 'Surrender' and 'Holy'.
