John C. Nickerson Jr. (November 18, 1915 – March 1, 1964) was a colonel in the United States Army and a Redstone Arsenal employee. He fought in World War II and then became involved in the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. Following an inter-service dispute over missile programs, in 1957 Nickerson became the first American to be charged under the Espionage Act for leaking classified national security information to the press. After pleading guilty to lesser charges, he briefly had his rank suspended. He spent the rest of his life in various other military roles before dying in a car accident.
