Nancy Ellen Garapick (born September 24 1961) is a former Canadian Olympic swimmer. She won two bronze medals in the 100m backstroke and 200m backstroke at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal at the age of 14, setting a new Olympic Record for the 100m backstroke during heats.

Garapick's Olympic performances came on the heals of her World Record performance on April 27, 1975 at the Eastern Canadian Swimming Championships in London, Ontario, while a member of the Halifax Trojan Aquatic Club. It was there that she set a new World Record in the 200m backstroke with a time of 2:16:33 at the age of 13.
