Nicholas Freeston (28 August 1907 – 6 February 1978) was an English poet who spent most of his working life as a weaver in cotton mills near his home in Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire. He published five books of poetry, occasionally writing in Lancashire dialect, and won fifteen awards including a gold medal presented by the president of the United Poets' Laureate International. He was listed in the third edition of Who's Who in the World and appeared on television and radio reading his own work. A UK national newspaper, the Daily Mirror, called him the "Cotton Mill Bard" and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, the "Wordsworth of the Weaving Shed".
