Nikolas Ferreira de Oliveira (born Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1996) is a Brazilian politician affiliated to the Liberal Party (PL). Currently serving as Member of the Chamber of Deputies, he was elected for a 4-year term in 2022, being the most voted Member of the Chamber of Deputies in the 2022 Brazilian general election, with almost 1,5 million votes, and the most voted in Minas Gerais history for that office.[1][2] Formerly, he was elected Councillor of Belo Horizonte, in 2020, the second most voted candidate after Duda Salabert.[3]

He describes himself as a "right-wing Christian, gun enthusiast, and family defender", and is considered one of the most influential politicians on social media in Brazil.[4][5] Ferreira has gained national notoriety due to the controversies he has been involved in, including defending negationist ideas,[6] opposing measures against the Covid-19 pandemic, giving speeches that are both transphobic[7] and discriminatory, spreading fake news, and supporting and encouraging coup demonstrations[8] as well as the attacks on the headquarters of the Three Powers in 2023.[9]
