Nick Rhodes (born Nicholas James Bates; 8 June 1962) is an English keyboardist and producer, best known as a founding member and the keyboardist of the band Duran Duran. He has also been the only constant member of the group since their 1978 inception.

In March 2013, he released the TV Mania side project with former Duran Duran guitarist, Warren Cuccurullo.
