Nickol Bay is a bay between the Burrup Peninsula and Dixon Island, on the Pilbara coastinWestern Australia.

Once alternatively spelled "Nicol Bay", it was named by John Septimus Roe for a sailor who was lost overboard during an expedition.[1]

F. T. Gregory visited the bay a number of times in 1861.[2][3]

When the tiny Forlorn Hope sailed around the Bay in June 1865, they landed several times but found no signs of European habitation,[4] yet two years later a settlement named Roebourne had been established and the district's virtues for rearing sheep were being extolled widely.[5][6]
