Nicolette Louisa Palikat (born November 1, 1985), better known by her stage name, "Nikki", is a Malaysian singer from Tambunan, Sabah.

While a university student, she successfully auditioned for Malaysian Idol in Kuching, Sarawak, and progressed through to the 'Final 12'. After six weeks in the competition, Nikki was voted out on September 12, 2004 to some controversy, as she had been seen as a favourite to win by Malaysian Idol judge, Paul Moss.

Originally planning to continue with her studies after her exit from the competition, Nikki secured a recording contract with Artistes United Records and released her debut album, Maharani, in Malaysia on November 28, 2005. The title means 'Empress' in Malay. Her first single is 'Pinta', a powerful ballad.

Nikki is able to sing in the whistle register; a technique she displayed throughout Malaysian Idol, particularly in "Emotions" by Mariah Carey which she sang in her first audition and the result show of the grand finale.
