Nicolas Perrot (1644–1717), explorer, diplomat, and fur trader, is one of the first white men in the upper Mississippi Valley.

He forms a fur trading company around 1667 and undertakes expeditions to various tribes and land in and around present-day Wisconsin.

He is sometimes the first white man seen by the native peoples and is generally well received.
